4505. Abû Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Do not meet the traders on the way, and whoever meets any of them and buys from him, the vendor has the choice of annulling the transaction when he comes to the marketplace.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

4501 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ الْقُرْدُوسِيُّ أَنَّهُ: سَمِعَ ابْنَ سِيرِينَ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَلَقَّوْا الْجَلْبَ فَمَنْ تَلَقَّاهُ فَاشْتَرَى مِنْهُ، فَإِذَا أَتَى سَيِّدُهُ السُّوقَ فَهُوَ بِالْخِيَارِ»

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.
