١٢٤٩ - حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ؛ «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَيَّرَ أَعْرَابِيَّا» بَعْدَ الْبَيْعِ. وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ.

Commentary
The basis of a business deal according to Islamic Law (Sharī'ah) depends on mutual consent and good-will, as Allāh said: "But let there be among you trade by mutual good-will" (Sūrat An-Nisā' 4:29.) So, the Islamic Sharī'ah gives the option of annulment of a deal to all the parties before the conclusion of the meeting, and it also advises not to leave the meeting for the fear of the other party's appeal of cancelling the deal. If both parties agree on the final decision they are allowed to end the meeting. They are also allowed to give the option of cancellation of the deal to one or both the parties after the end of the meeting, but this choice is given in the meeting.
