4488. It was narrated from 'Amr bin Shu'aib, from his father, from his grandfather, that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The two parties to a transaction have the choice so long as they have not separated, unless they reach an agreement before parting, and it is not permissible to hasten to leave for fear that the other party may change his mind."(Hasan)

Arabic text

4483 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «الْمُتَبَايِعَانِ بِالْخِيَارِ مَا لَمْ يَتَفَرَّقَا، إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ صَفْقَةَ خِيَارٍ، وَلَا يَحِلُّ لَهُ أَنْ يُفَارِقَ صَاحِبَهُ خَشْيَةَ أَنْ يَسْتَقِيلَهُ»

Commentary

Both parties in a transaction have a right to annul it so long as they have not separated or parted company. Even attempting to destroy this right falls into the category of annihilation, or infringement upon one's rights. Well-wishing and sincerity demands that the second party should be given full opportunity to exercise his right.
