English translation

1292. Ibn 'Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "None of you is to sell over the sale of others, nor to propose over the proposal of others." (Saḥīh) [He said:] There are narration on this topic from Abū Hurairah and Samurah. [Abū 'Eisā said:] The Hadīth of Ibn 'Umar is a Ḥasan Saḥīh Hadīth. And it has been reported from the Prophet ﷺ that he said: "Do not haggle in competition with your brother's haggling." And the meaning of sale in this Hadīth of the Prophet ﷺ, according to some of the people of knowledge is to haggle.

١٢٩٢ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ ‌نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا يَبِيعُ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَيْعِ بَعْضٍ»، وَلَا يَخْطُبْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ بَعْضٍ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَسَمُرَةَ. حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عُمَرَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: لَا يَسُومُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى سَوْمِ أَخِيهِ. وَمَعْنَى الْبَيْعِ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِنْدَ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ هُوَ السَّوْمُ.

Commentary

When two parties have reached an agreement on price of a commodity, the third one should not enter the deal to offer less or more. Similarly, in the case of proposals of betrothals, it is not allowed to propose over the proposal of others. (Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi v. 2. p. 306-307.)
