٣٤۔٤٣ باب إِذَا لَمْ يُوَقِّتْ فِي الْخِيَارِ، هَلْ يَجُوزُ الْبَيْعُ

bukhari:2109Abū al-Nuʿmān > Ḥammād b. Zayd > Ayyūb > Nāfiʿ > Ibn ʿUmar

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The seller and the buyer have the option of canceling or confirming the deal unless they separate, or one of them says to the other, 'Choose (i.e. decide to cancel or confirm the bargain now)." Perhaps he said, 'Or if it is an optional sale.' " Ibn ʿUmar, Shuraih, Ash-Shuʿbi, Tawus, Ata, and Ibn Abu Mulaika agree upon this judgment.  

البخاري:٢١٠٩حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ؓ قَالَ

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْبَيِّعَانِ بِالْخِيَارِ مَا لَمْ يَتَفَرَّقَا أَوْ يَقُولُ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ اخْتَرْ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ أَوْ يَكُونُ بَيْعَ خِيَارٍ
