Do not go out to meet riders to enter into transaction with them; none of you must buy in opposition to another, nor must you bid against one another; a townsman must not sell for a man from the desert, and do not tie up udders of carnels and sheep, and he who buys them after that has been done has two courses open to him: after he has milked them he may keep them if he is pleased with them, or he may return them along with a sit of dates if he is displeased with them.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يُتَلَقَّى الرُّكْبَانُ لِبَيْعٍ وَلاَ يَبِعْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَيْعِ بَعْضٍ وَلاَ تَنَاجَشُوا وَلاَ يَبِعْ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ وَلاَ تُصَرُّوا الإِبِلَ وَالْغَنَمَ فَمَنِ ابْتَاعَهَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ بِخَيْرِ النَّظَرَيْنِ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَحْلُبَهَا فَإِنْ رَضِيَهَا أَمْسَكَهَا وَإِنْ سَخِطَهَا رَدَّهَا وَصَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Do not go out to meet riders to conduct business with them ; none of you must buy in opposition to one another; and do not tie up the udders of camels and sheep, for he who buys them after that has been done has two courses open to him after milking them: he may keep them if he is pleased with them, or he may return them along with a sa' of dates is he is displeased with them.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ تَلَقَّوُا الرُّكْبَانَ لِلْبَيْعِ وَلاَ يَبِعْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَيْعِ بَعْضٍ وَلاَ تُصَرُّوا الإِبِلَ وَالْغَنَمَ فَمَنِ ابْتَاعَهَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ بِخَيْرِ النَّظَرَيْنِ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَحْلِبَهَا فَإِنْ رَضِيَهَا أَمْسَكَهَا وَإِنْ سَخِطَهَا رَدَّهَا وَصَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ  

Malik related to me from Abu'z-Zinad from al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not go out to meet the caravans for trade, do not bid against each other, outbidding in order to raise the price, and a townsman must not buy on behalf of a man of the desert, and do not tie up the udders of camels and sheep so that they appear to have a lot of milk, for a person who buys them after that has two recourses open to him after he milks them. If he is pleased with them, he keeps them and if he is displeased with them, he can return them along with a sa of dates." Malik said, "The explanation of the words of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ according to what we think - and Allah knows best - 'do not bid against each other,' is that it is forbidden for a man to offer a price over the price of his brother when the seller has inclined to the bargainer and made conditions about the weight of the gold and he has declared himself not liable for faults and such things by which it is recognised that the seller wants to make a transaction with the bargainer. This is what he forbade, and Allah knows best." Malik said, "There is no harm, however, in more than one person bidding against each other over goods put up for sale." He said, "Were people to leave off haggling when the first person started haggling, an unreal price might be taken and the disapproved would enter into the sale of the goods. This is still the way of doing things among us."  

أنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قالَ: «لا تَلَقَّوُا الرُّكْبانَ لِلْبَيْعِ، ولا يَبِعْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلى بَيْعِ بَعْضٍ، ولا تَناجَشُوا، ولا يَبِعْ حاضِرٌ لِبادٍ، ولا تُصَرُّوا الإبِلَ والغَنَمَ، فَمَنِ ابْتاعَها بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ بِخَيْرِ النَّظَرَيْنِ، بَعْدَ أنْ يَحْلُبَها، -[٦٨٤]- إنْ رَضِيَها أمْسَكَها، وإنْ سَخِطَها رَدَّها وصاعًا مِن تَمْرٍ» قالَ مالِكٌ: «وتَفْسِيرُ قَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ - فِيما نُرى واللَّهُ أعْلَمُ -» لا يَبِعْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلى بَيْعِ بَعْضٍ «أنَّهُ إنَّما نَهى أنْ يَسُومَ الرَّجُلُ عَلى سَوْمِ أخِيهِ، إذا رَكَنَ البائِعُ إلى السّائِمِ وجَعَلَ يَشْتَرِطُ وزْنَ الذَّهَبِ، ويَتَبَرَّأُ مِنَ العُيُوبِ، وما أشْبَهَ هَذا مِمّا يُعْرَفُ بِهِ أنَّ البائِعَ قَدْ أرادَ مُبايَعَةَ السّائِمِ فَهَذا الَّذِي نَهى عَنْهُ، واللَّهُ أعْلَمُ» قالَ مالِكٌ: «ولا بَأْسَ بِالسَّوْمِ بِالسِّلْعَةِ تُوقَفُ لِلْبَيْعِ، فَيَسُومُ بِها غَيْرُ واحِدٍ قالَ: ولَوْ تَرَكَ النّاسُ السَّوْمَ عِنْدَ أوَّلِ مَن يَسُومُ بِها أُخِذَتْ بِشِبْهِ الباطِلِ مِنَ الثَّمَنِ، ودَخَلَ عَلى الباعَةِ فِي سِلَعِهِمُ المَكْرُوهُ، ولَمْ يَزَلِ الأمْرُ عِنْدَنا عَلى هَذا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not deal in livestock and sheep in a coercive manner. Whoever buys with coercion has the choice to hold it or return it for a saa' of dates. And do not ask a woman to divorce her sister. And do not engage in mutual reviling. And do not sell what is not present for what is. And there should be no sale of what is not in your possession."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تُصَرُّوا الْإِبِلَ وَالْغَنَمَ فَمَنْ ابْتَاعَ مُصَرَّاةً فَهُوَ بِآخِرِ النَّظَرَيْنِ إِنْ شَاءَ أَمْسَكَهَا وَإِنْ شَاءَ رَدَّهَا بِصَاعٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ وَلَا تَسْأَلِ الْمَرْأَةُ طَلَاقَ أُخْتِهَا وَلَا تَنَاجَشُوا وَلَا يَبِعْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَيْعِ بَعْضٍ وَلَا يَبِعْ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ

(Using translation from Muslim 1515c)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَلَقَّوْا الرُّكْبَانَوَلَا يَبِعْ بَعْضٌ عَلَى بَيْعِ بَعْضٍ وَلَا تَنَاجَشُوا وَلَا يَبِعْ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ وَلَا تُصَرُّوا الْإِبِلَ وَالْغَنَمَ فَمَنْ ابْتَاعَهَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ بِخَيْرِ النَّظَرَيْنِ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَحْلُبَهَا إِنْ رَضِيَهَا أَمْسَكَهَا وَإِنْ سَخِطَهَا رَدَّهَا وَصَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Do not go out to meet riders to conduct business with them ; none of you must buy in opposition to one another; and do not tie up the udders of camels and sheep, for he who buys them after that has been done has two courses open to him after milking them: he may keep them if he is pleased with them, or he may return them along with a sa' of dates is he is displeased with them. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3443)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا تُصَرُّوا الْإِبِلَ وَالْغَنَمَ فَمَنِ ابْتَاعَهَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ بِخَيْرِ النَّظَرَيْنِ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَحْلُبَهَا إِنْ رَضِيَهَا أَمْسَكَهَا وَإِنْ سَخِطَهَا رَدَّهَا وَصَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Monks are not to be sold or sold to, and none of you should sell to each other, and do not argue. A present should not be sold for profit, and do not urge the sale of camels and sheep. Whoever buys them after that is in the better of the two sights, after he has milked them. If he is pleased with them, he may keep them, but if he is displeased, he may return them, and a measurement of dates."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يُتَلَقَّى الرُّكْبَانُ لِلْبَيْعِ وَلَا يَبِيعُ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَيْعِ بَعْضٍ وَلَا تَنَاجَشُوا وَلَا يَبِيعُ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ وَلَا تُصَرُّوا الْإِبِلَ وَالْغَنَمَ فَمَنِ ابْتَاعَهَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ بِخَيْرِ النَّظَرَيْنِ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَحْلُبَهَا فَإِنْ رَضِيَهَا أَمْسَكَهَا وَإنْ سَخِطَهَا رَدَّهَا وَصَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ

"لا يَتَلَقَّى الرُّكْبَانَ لِبَيعٍ، وَلا يَبعْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَيعِ بَعْضٍ، وَلا تَنَاجَشُوا وَلا يَبعْ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ، وَلا تَصُرُّوا الإِبِلَ وَالْغَنَمَ، فَمَن ابْتَاعَهَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ بِخَيرِ النَّظِرَينِ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَحْلِبَهَا، فَإِنْ رَضِيهَا أَمْسَكَهَا، وإِنْ سَخِطهَا رَدَّهَا وَصَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ".
