The Prophet ﷺ decreed that one should not try to cancel a bargain already agreed upon between some other persons (by offering a bigger price). And a man should not ask for the hand of a girl who is already engaged to his Muslim brother, unless the first suitor gives her up, or allows him to ask for her hand.

أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ ؓ كَانَ يَقُولُ نَهَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ يَبِيعَ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَيْعِ بَعْضٍ وَلاَ يَخْطُبَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ حَتَّى يَتْرُكَ الْخَاطِبُ قَبْلَهُ أَوْ يَأْذَنَ لَهُ الْخَاطِبُ

A person should not enter into a transaction when his brother (had already entered into but not finalised), and he should not make proposal of marriage upon the proposal already made by his brother, until he permits it.

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَبِعِ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى بَيْعِ أَخِيهِ وَلاَ يَخْطُبْ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَأْذَنَ لَهُ

A person should not enter into a transaction when his brother is already making a transaction and he should not make a proposal of marriage when his brother has already made a proposal except when he gives permission.

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَبِعِ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى بَيْعِ أَخِيهِ وَلاَ يَخْطُبْ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَأْذَنَ لَهُ

Abu Hurairah reported the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ as saying “ A man should not seek the hand of a woman in marriage when his brother has already sought her hand.”

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ يَخْطُبُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ

The Prophet ﷺ said: One of you must not ask a woman in marriage when his brother has done so already, and one of you must not sell (his own goods) when his brother has already sold (his goods) except with his permission.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ يَخْطُبُ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ وَلاَ يَبِيعُ عَلَى بَيْعِ أَخِيهِ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ

The Messenger of Allah said: "A man is not to sell over his brother's sale, nor is he to propose to whom his brother has proposed."

النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ يَبِيعُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى بَيْعِ أَخِيهِ وَلاَ يَخْطُبُ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ وَابْنِ عُمَرَ

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet said: "None of you should propose marriage to a woman when someone else has already proposed to her."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَخْطُبْ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ

"None of you should propose marriage to a woman when someone else has already proposed to her."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَخْطُبْ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ

the Messenger of Allah said: “A man should not propose to a woman to whom his brother has already proposed.”

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ يَخْطُبِ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ

the Messenger of Allah said: “A man should not propose to a woman to whom his brother has already proposed.”

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ يَخْطُبِ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ

[AI] About the Prophet ﷺ who said, "A man should not propose marriage to his brother's fiancée."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ «نَهَى عَنْ أَنْ يَخْطُبَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ»

The Prophet ﷺ said: One of you must not ask a woman in marriage when his brother has done so already, and one of you must not sell (his own goods) when his brother has already sold (his goods) except with his permission. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2081)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا يَخْطُبُ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ وَلَا يَبِيعُ عَلَى بَيْعِ أَخِيهِ حَتَّى يَأْذَنَ لَهُ»

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ said, "None of you should sell upon the sale of his brother, nor propose to marry the betrothed of his brother, unless he gives permission."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَبِعْ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى بَيْعِ أَخِيهِ وَلَا يَخْطُبْ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَأْذَنَ لَهُ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade a man from proposing to the same woman his brother has previously proposed to, unless the first proposer gives up his right or gives permission.

نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَخْطُبَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ حَتَّى يَدَعَهَا الَّذِي خَطَبَهَا أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ أَوْ يَأْذَنَ لَهُ

[AI] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbidding a man from delivering a sermon on behalf of his brother or selling something on his behalf.

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَنْهَى أَنْيَخْطُبَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ أَوْ يَبِيعَ عَلَى بَيْعِهِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَخْطُبُ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ وَلَا يَبِيعُ عَلَى بَيْعِ أَخِيهِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ said, "A man should not sell on the sale of his brother, nor propose to marry the betrothed of his brother, except with his permission. And perhaps he will give him permission."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَبِيعُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى بَيْعِ أَخِيهِ وَلَا يَخْطُبُ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ يَأْذَنَ لَهُ

A man must not make proposal of marriage to a woman when his brother has done so already. And he must not offer a price for a thing for which his brother had already offered a price; and a woman must not be combined in marriage with her father's sister, nor with her mother's sister, and a woman must not ask to have her sister divorced in order to deprive her of what belongs to her, but she must marry, because she will have what Allah has decreed for her. (Using translation from Muslim 1408g)

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَسُومُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَىسَوْمِ أَخِيهِ وَلَا يَخْطُبْ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ

[AI] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "A man should not outbid his brother's bidding, nor propose to a woman who has already been proposed to."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَسْتَامُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى سَوْمِ أَخِيهِ وَلَا يَخْطُبُ عَلَى خِطْبَتِهِ

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet said: "None of you should propose marriage to a woman when someone else has already proposed to her." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3240)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَخْطُبُ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ forbade a man from feeling envious about his brother's fasting or proposing to the same woman he intends to propose to.

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى أَنْ يَسْتَامَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى سَوْمِ أَخِيهِ أَوْ يَخْطُبَ عَلَى خِطْبَتِهِ

Abu Hurairah reported the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ as saying “ A man should not seek the hand of a woman in marriage when his brother has already sought her hand.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2080)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَسْتَامُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى سَوْمِ أَخِيهِ وَلَا يَخْطُبْ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade a man from proposing or buying while his brother is engaged.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى أَنْ يَخْطُبَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ أَوْ يَبْتَاعَ عَلَى بَيْعِهِ

Yahya related to me from Malik from Muhammad ibn Yahya ibn Habban from al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not ask for a woman in marriage when another muslim has already done so."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَخْطُبُ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not ask for a woman in marriage when another muslim has already done so." Malik said, "The explanation of the statement of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ according to what we think - and Allah knows best - is that 'Do not ask for a woman in marriage when another muslim has already done so' means that when a man has asked for a woman in marriage, and she has inclined to him and they have agreed on a bride-price, which she has suggested and with which they are mutually satisfied, it is forbidden for another man to ask for that woman in marriage. It does not mean that when a man has asked for a woman in marriage, and his suit does not agree with her and she does not incline to him that no one else can ask for her in marriage. That is a door to misery for people."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَخْطُبُ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ۔ قَالَ مَالِكٌ : وَتَفْسِيرُ قَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِيمَا نُرَى - وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ - «لَا يَخْطُبُ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ»: أَنْ يَخْطُبَ الرَّجُلُ الْمَرْأَةَ، فَتَرْكَنَ إِلَيْهِ، وَيَتَّفِقَانِ عَلَى صَدَاقٍ وَاحِدٍ مَعْلُومٍ، وَقَدْ تَرَاضَيَا، فَهِيَ تَشْتَرِطُ عَلَيْهِ لِنَفْسِهَا، فَتِلْكَ الَّتِي نُهِيَ أَنْ يَخْطُبَهَا الرَّجُلُ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ. وَلَمْ يَعْنِ بِذلِكَ، إِذَا خَطَبَ الرَّجُلُ الْمَرْأَةَ، فَلَمْ يُوَافِقْهَا أَمْرُهُ، وَلَمْ تَرْكَنْ إِلَيْهِ، أَنْ لَا يَخْطُبَهَا أَحَدٌ، فَهذَا بَابُ فَسَادٍ يَدْخُلُ عَلَى النَّاسِ.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet said: "None of you should propose marriage to a woman when someone else has already proposed to her." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3240)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا يَخْطُبْ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ»

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ prohibited a person from outbidding his brother in a transaction, or proposing to marry the woman his brother has proposed to.

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ «نَهَى أَنْ يَسْتَامَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى سَوْمِ أَخِيهِ أَوْ يَخْطُبَ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ»

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A person should not outbid his brother in buying until he either buys or leaves, and should not propose for marriage to the woman his brother has proposed to until he marries her or gives up."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا يَسْتَامُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى سَوْمِ أَخِيهِ حَتَّى يَشْتَرِيَ أَوْ يَتْرُكَ وَلَا يَخْطُبُ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ حَتَّى يَنْكِحَ أَوْ يَذَرَ»

[AI] "From the Prophet of Allahﷺ he said, 'A man should not propose to his brother's betrothed until the first proposer either abandons his proposal or gives permission to the second proposer to proceed.'"

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا يَخْطُبُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ حَتَّى يَتْرُكَ الْخَاطِبُ الْأَوَّلُ أَوْ يَأْذَنَ لَهُ فَيَخْطُبُ»

Abu Hurairah reported the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ as saying “ A man should not seek the hand of a woman in marriage when his brother has already sought her hand.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2080)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا يَخْطُبِ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ»

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet said: "None of you should propose marriage to a woman when someone else has already proposed to her." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3240)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا يَخْطُبُ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ»

[AI] A man should not compete with his brother's bid, nor propose to his brother's betrothed. Hisham raised it.

«لَا يَسُمِ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى سَوْمِ أَخِيهِ وَلَا يَخْطُبُ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ» رَفَعَهُ هِشَامٌ

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet said: "None of you should propose marriage to a woman when someone else has already proposed to her." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3240)

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا يَخْطُبْ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ»

"لا يَبِيع الرَّجُلُ عَلَى بَيعِ أَخِيهِ، وَلا يَخْطُب عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخيهِ إِلا أَنْ يَأذَنَ لَهُ".

"لَا يَخْطُبُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ حَتَّى يَأذَنَ لَهُ".

"لَا يَخْطُب أحَدُكُمْ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ".
