So a man said: "I will take them for a Dirham." So the Prophet ﷺ said: "Who will give more than a Dirham? Who will give more than a Dirham?" A man agreed to give him two Dirham, so
he sold them to him. (Hasan)

Commentary
In the view of Imām Awzā'ī and Ishāq and some other scholars, only spoils of war and the property of inheritance can be sold by bidding and auction. Most of the people of knowledge, Imām Shāfi'ī and Imām Mālik are of view that all types of property and commodities can be sold by bidding and auction. It is not allowed to raise the price when the deal is over. (Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhī v. 2. p.230.)
