Hakim asked (the Prophet): Messenger of Allah, a man comes to me and wants me to sell him something which is not in my possession. Should I buy it for him from the market? He replied: Do not sell what you do not possess. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3503)  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ يَأْتِينِي الرَّجُلُ يَسْأَلُنِي الْبَيْعَ لَيْسَ عِنْدِي مَا أَبِيعُهُ ثُمَّ أَبِيعُهُ مِنَ السُّوقِ فَقَالَ لَا تَبِعْ مَا لَيْسَ عِنْدَكَ  

"I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, a man is asking me to sell him something that I do not possess; Shall I sell it to him?' He said: 'Do not sell what is not with you."' (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2187)   

بَايَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى أَنْ لَا أَخِرَّ إِلَّا قَائِمًا قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الرَّجُلُ يَسْأَلُنِي الْبَيْعَ وَلَيْسَ عِنْدِي أَفَأَبِيعُهُ؟ قَالَ لَا تَبِعْ مَا لَيْسَ عِنْدَكَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited me from selling something that I do not possess. Ayub (one of the narrators) said, or he said (it was) a commodity that I do not have.  

نَهَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ أَبِيعَ مَا لَيْسَ عِنْدِي قَالَ أَيُّوبُ أَوْ قَالَ سِلْعَةً لَيْسَتْ عِنْدِي  

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'The two parties to a transaction have the choice so long as they have not separated. If they are honest and open, their transaction will be blessed, but if they tell lies and conceal anything, the blessing of their transaction will be lost." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4457)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْبَيِّعَانِ بِالْخِيَارِ مَا لَمْ يَتَفَرَّقَا فَإِنْ صَدَقَا وَبَيَّنَا رُزِقَا بَرَكَةَ بَيْعِهِمَا وَإِنْ كَذَبَا وَكَتَمَا مُحِقَ بَرَكَةُ بَيْعِهِمَا  

"I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, a man is asking me to sell him something that I do not possess; Shall I sell it to him?' He said: 'Do not sell what is not with you."' (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2187)   

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ يُطْلَبُ مِنِّي الْمَتَاعُ وَلَيْسَ عِنْدِي أَفَأَبِيعُهُ لَهُ؟ قَالَ لَا تَبِعْ مَا لَيْسَ عِنْدَكَ  

[Machine] He informed him, saying, "I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I buy goods, so what is permissible for me from it and what is prohibited for me?' He said, 'When you buy a commodity, do not sell it until you possess it.'"  

أَخْبَرَهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أَشْتَرِي بُيُوعًا فَمَا يَحِلُّ لِي مِنْهَا وَمَا يُحَرَّمُ عَلَيَّ قَالَ فَإِذَا اشْتَرَيْتَ بَيْعًا فَلَا تَبِعْهُ حَتَّى تَقْبِضَهُ  

"The best of charity is that which is given when you are self-sufficient, and the upper hand is better than the lower hand, and start with those for whom you are responsible." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2534)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ خَيْرَالصَّدَقَةِ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ  

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think of actions that I used to do during the time of ignorance, such as freeing a slave or maintaining family ties? Do I receive rewards for them?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "You have embraced Islam upon what has preceded of goodness."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ أُمُورًا كُنْتُ أَتَحَنَّثُ بِهَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ مِنْ عَتَاقَةٍ وَصِلَةِ رَحِمٍ هَلْ لِي فِيهَا أَجْرٌ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَسْلَمْتَ عَلَى مَا سَلَفَ مِنْ خَيْرٍ  

[Machine] He informed me that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think of things that I used to do in the pre-Islamic era?" He said, "You have embraced Islam for what you have done before, and repentance is the act of worship."  

أَخْبَرَهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ أُمُورًا كُنْتُ أَتَحَنَّثُ بِهَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَقَالَ أَسْلَمْتَ عَلَى مَا أَسْلَفْتَ وَالتَّحَنُّثُ التَّعَبُّدُ  

[Machine] "A man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about which charity is the best. He replied, 'Charity given to the relative who is in need.'"  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الصَّدَقَاتِ أَيُّهَا أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ عَلَى ذِي الرَّحِمِ الْكَاشِحِ  

[Machine] I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for money, but he kept insisting. He said, "O Hakim, I do not deny your request, O Hakim. This money is green and sweet, yet it is still tainted by people's dirty hands. The hand of the giver is above the hand of the recipient, and the hand of the recipient is below the hand of the giver, while the lowest hand is that of the recipient."  

سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْمَالِ فَأَلْحَفْتُ فَقَالَ يَا حَكِيمُ مَا أَنْكَرَ مَسْأَلَتَكَ يَا حَكِيمُ إِنَّ هَذَا الْمَالَ خَضِرَةٌ حُلْوَةٌ وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ مَعَ ذَلِكَ أَوْسَاخُ أَيْدِي النَّاسِوَيَدُ اللهِ فَوْقَ يَدِ الْمُعْطِي وَيَدُ الْمُعْطِي فَوْقَ يَدِ الْمُعْطَى وَأَسْفَلُ الْأَيْدِي يَدُ الْمُعْطَى  

The Messenger of Allah said: "The two parties to a transaction have the choice so long as they have not separated. If they are honest and open, their transaction will be blessed, but if they tell lies and conceal anything the blessing of their transaction will be lost." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4464)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ الْبَيِّعَانِ بِالْخِيَارِ مَا لَمْ يَتَفَرَّقَا فَإِنْ صَدَقَا وَبَيَّنَا بُورِكَ لَهُمَا فِي بَيْعِهِمَا وَإِنْ كَذَبَا وَكَتَمَا مُحِقَتْ بَرَكَةُ بَيْعِهِمَا  

[Machine] "Muhammad ﷺ was the most beloved man to me among the people during the time of ignorance. When he received prophethood and migrated to Medina, Hakim ibn Hizam witnessed the season (of buying and selling) while he was still a disbeliever. He found a necklace being sold, so he bought it for fifty dinars to give it as a gift to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He brought it to him in Medina and wanted to give it to him as a gift. However, the Prophet ﷺ refused and said, 'I thought that we do not accept anything from idolaters. But if you wish, I will buy it from you at its price.' So, I gave it to him when he insisted on paying for the gift."  

كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ أَحَبَّ رَجُلٍ فِي النَّاسِ إِلَيَّ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَلَمَّا تَنَبَّأَ وَخَرَجَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ شَهِدَ حَكِيمُ بْنُ حِزَامٍ الْمَوْسِمَ وَهُوَ كَافِرٌ فَوَجَدَ حُلَّةً لِذِي يَزَنَ تُبَاعُ فَاشْتَرَاهَا بِخَمْسِينَ دِينَارًا لِيُهْدِيَهَا لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَدِمَ بِهَا عَلَيْهِ الْمَدِينَةَ فَأَرَادَهُ عَلَى قَبْضِهَا هَدِيَّةً فَأَبَى قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللهِ حَسِبْتُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّا لَا نَقْبَلُ شَيْئًا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَلَكِنْ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَخَذْنَاهَا بِالثَّمَنِ فَأَعْطَيْتُهُ حِينَ أَبَى عَلَيَّ الْهَدِيَّةَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The two parties of a transaction [buyer and seller] have the option to cancel the transaction as long as they have not separated. I found this statement in my book thrice: if they speak the truth and clarify the transaction, they will be blessed with profit. But if they lie and conceal [the truth], the blessings of their transaction will be lost."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ الْبَيِّعَانِ بِالْخِيَارِ مَا لَمْ يَتَفَرَّقَا قَالَ وَجَدْتُ فِي كِتَابِي الْخِيَارَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَإِنْ صَدَقَا وَبَيَّنَا فَعَسَى أَنْ يَرْبَحَا رِبْحًا وَإِنْ كَذَبَا وَكَتَمَا مُحِقَتْ بَرَكَةُ بَيْعِهِمَا  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "The buyer and the seller have the option of canceling or confirming the bargain unless they separate, and if they spoke the truth and made clear the defects of the goods, them they would be blessed in their bargain, and if they told lies and hid some facts, their bargain would be deprived of Allah's blessings." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2110)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ الْبَيِّعَانِ بِالْخِيَارِ مَا لَمْ يَتَفَرَّقَا فَإِنْ صَدَقَا وَبَيَّنَا بُورِكَ لَهُمَا فِي بَيْعِهِمَا وَإِنْ كَذَبَا وَكَتَمَا مُحِقَ بَرَكَةُ بَيْعِهِمَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The upper hand is better than the lower hand, and start with those who are under your responsibility. Whoever asks Allah for sufficiency, Allah will make him self-sufficient, and whoever seeks refuge with Allah, Allah will grant him refuge."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ مَنْ يَسْتَغْنِ يُغْنِهِ اللهُ وَمَنْ يَسْتَعْفَّ يُعِفَّهُ اللهُ  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "The buyer and the seller have the option of canceling or confirming the bargain unless they separate, and if they spoke the truth and made clear the defects of the goods, them they would be blessed in their bargain, and if they told lies and hid some facts, their bargain would be deprived of Allah's blessings." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2110)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الْبَيِّعَانِ بِالْخِيَارِ مَا لَمْ يَتَفَرَّقَا فَإِنْ صَدَقَا وَبَيَّنَا بُورِكَ لَهُمَا فِي بَيْعِهِمَا وَإِنْ كَذَبَا وَكَتَمَا مُحِقَتْ بَرَكَةُ بَيْعِهِمَا وَقَالَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ مُحِقَ  

[Machine] Did not the Messenger of Allah ﷺ come to me or convey to me or as Allah willed from that, that you sell food? He said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Do not sell food until you buy it and possess it.  

لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَلَمْ يَأْتِنِي أَوَ أَلَمْ يَبْلُغْنِي أَوْ كَمَا شَاءَ اللهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَنَّكَ تَبِيعُ الطَّعَامَ قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَا تَبِعْ طَعَامًا حَتَّى تَشْتَرِيَهُ وَتَسْتَوْفِيَهُ
