Commentary
'He has the choice of annulling the transaction' because the trader has deceived him and deception is not allowed in the Divine law. Hence, the bargain would be annulled if the owner of the merchandise feels that his merchandise has been purchased from him, by paying him less than the prevalent market-price.
