1291. Ibn 'Abbās narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever buys food, then he is not to sell it until he takes possession of it." Ibn 'Abbās said: "All things are considered the same (in this regard)." (Sahih) [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Jābir, Ibn 'Umar [and Abū Hurairah]. [Abū 'Eisā said:] The Hadīth of Ibn 'Abbās is a Hasan Sahih Hadīth.

١٢٩١ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ ‌عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ ‌طَاوُوسٍ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؛ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنِ ابْتَاعَ طَعَامًا فَلَا يَبِعْهُ حَتَّى يَسْتَوْفِيَهُ». قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: وَأَحْسَبُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ مِثْلَهُ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ، وَابْنِ عُمَرَ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ. حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ؛ كَرِهُوا بَيْعَ الطَّعَامِ حَتَّى يَقْبِضَهُ الْمُشْتَرِي، وَقَدْ رَخَّصَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ فِيمَنِ ابْتَاعَ شَيْئًا مِمَّا لَا يُكَالُ وَلَا يُوزَنُ مِمَّا لَا يُؤْكَلُ وَلَا يُشْرَبُ، أَنْ يَبِيعَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْتَوْفِيَهُ، وَإِنَّمَا التَّشْدِيدُ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ فِي الطَّعَامِ، وَهُوَ قَوْلُ أَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ.

Commentary

Some Sahih narrations also support the view of Ibn 'Abbās, that until and unless the complete possession of a thing is obtained it should not be sold. So this is a correct view that the thing should be sold only when the complete possession is obtained.
