1221. Abū Hurairah narrated: "The Prophet ﷺ prohibited meeting the goods being brought (to the market). If someone were to meet them and buy them, then the owner of the goods retains the option when he reaches the market." (Sahih)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb narration of Ayyūb (a narrator). The Hadīth of Ibn Mas'ūd is a Hasan Sahih Hadīth. There are those among the people of knowledge who disliked meeting the owners of the goods, saying that it is a type of deception. This is the view of Ash-Shāfi'i, and others among our companions.

Commentary
The Prophet ﷺ has prohibited the purchase of goods on the way while being brought to the market until they reach it. It is prohibited to go out of the village or town and meet the merchants on the way and purchase the goods at a low price as the owner is unaware of the market price.
