[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ prohibited taking an advanced payment for a deferred delivery, and selling something that is still being transported. I said to Ibn Abbas, "What does it mean that 'one should not sell something that is still being transported'?" He replied, "It means that it should not have a middleman."
نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُتَلَقَّى الرُّكْبَانُ وَلَا يَبِيعُ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ مَا قَوْلُهُ لَا يَبِيعُ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ؟ قَالَ لَا يَكُونُ لَهُ سِمْسَارًا
