Arabic text

4604 - أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ، قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ، وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، عَنْ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ الْمُنْذِرِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى أَنْ يَبِيعَ أَحَدٌ طَعَامًا اشْتَرَاهُ بِكَيْلٍ حَتَّى يَسْتَوْفِيَهُ»

Commentary

'Bought by measure': This is because it might have been first weighed by the seller, as is the common practice. Now the buyer also should measure it. The purpose of this chapter is to underscore the point that the weighing by the seller should not be held enough. Rather the buyer also should measure it so that he could sell it further with certainty and confidence.
