English translation

3245. 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr used to say: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ forbade offering more for something that has already been bought by his brother, or for a man to propose marriage to a woman when someone else had already proposed to her, unless the previous suitor gave up the idea or gave him permission." (Sahīh)

Arabic text

3243 - أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ: سَمِعْتُ نَافِعًا، يُحَدِّثُ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، كَانَ يَقُولُ: «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَبِيعَ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَيْعِ بَعْضٍ، وَلَا يَخْطُبُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ الرَّجُلِ، حَتَّى يَتْرُكَ الْخَاطِبُ قَبْلَهُ، أَوْ يَأْذَنَ لَهُ الْخَاطِبُ»

Commentary

If someone is negotiating a deal, it is not lawful for someone else to begin negotiations. The deal might have already been concluded.
