1253. Jābir bin 'Abdullāh narrated that he sold a camel to the Prophet ﷺ and made the condition that he could ride it to (return to) his family. (Sahīh)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahīh. It has been reported through other routes from Jābir.
This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others. They consider it allowed to make a condition in a sale when it is one condition. This is the view of
Ahmad and Ishāq.
Some of the people of knowledge said that it is not allowed to make a condition in a sale, nor to complete a sale when there is a condition for it.

Commentary
Putting a condition on a sale by which only one party gets the benefit is lawful. For example the seller of a horse can make a condition that he would ride the horse to return to his house, or on the sale of a house the seller can make a condition that he will reside in this house for such a period and then the possession will be given. 'Allāmah Taqī also approves of putting only one condition. (See Appendix of the Mujjalah Al-Ahkām Al-Adliyah (Urdu) v. 1 p.636. and p.49 and Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, Fawāid.)
