4462. It was narrated that Hakim bin Hizam said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The two parties to a transaction have the choice so long as they have not separated. If they are honest and open, their transaction will be blessed, but if they tell lies and conceal anything, the blessing of their transaction will be lost." (Sahih)

[1] Literally, the text says: "Knowledge will be manifest." Most manuscripts have Al-Tlm (knowledge) here. Some have Al-Jahl (ignorance); and in Al-Kubra it is Al-Qalm (the pen). In accord with other narrations, scholars explained that it means much will be written down, but of little benefit. See As-Sahihah, No. 2767.
Commentary
Both buyer and seller have the option to cancel at the place of the agreement the bargain at anytime before they physically part company. If either of them cancels the bargain, it will be incumbent upon the other party to accept it. But if the place of bargain changes then the bargain could be annulled only with the consent of both the parties.
