ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ الْحُكْمِ فِي تَصْرِيَةِ ذَوَاتِ الْأَرْبَعِ عِنْدَ بَيْعِهَا

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not go forward to meet the caravan (to buy from it on the way before it reaches the town). And do not urge buyers to cancel their purchases to sell them (your own goods) yourselves, and do not practice Najsh. A town dweller should not sell the goods for the desert dweller. Do not leave sheep unmilked for a long time, when they are on sale, and whoever buys such an animal has the option of returning it, after milking it, along with a Sa of dates or keeping it. it has been kept unmilked for a long period by the seller (to deceive others).  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ تَلَقَّوُا الرُّكْبَانَ وَلاَ يَبِيعُ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَيْعِ بَعْضٍ وَلاَ تَنَاجَشُوا وَلاَ يَبِيعُ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ وَلاَ تُصَرُّوا الْغَنَمَ وَمَنِ ابْتَاعَهَا فَهْوَ بِخَيْرِ النَّظَرَيْنِ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَحْتَلِبَهَا إِنْ رَضِيَهَا أَمْسَكَهَا وَإِنْ سَخِطَهَا رَدَّهَا وَصَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ  

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  

"Do not go out to meet the riders, and do not bind the udders of camels and seep. Whoever has boughty anything in that manner has two choices: If he whishes he may keep it, or if he wants to return it he may return it, along with a Sa of dates." (Sahih )  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ تَلَقُّوا الرُّكْبَانَ لِلْبَيْعِ وَلاَ تُصَرُّوا الإِبِلَ وَالْغَنَمَ مَنِ ابْتَاعَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا فَهُوَ بِخَيْرِ النَّظَرَيْنِ فَإِنْ شَاءَ أَمْسَكَهَا وَإِنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يَرُدَّهَا رَدَّهَا وَمَعَهَا صَاعُ 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»  

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. (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  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not engage in transactions and do not insist on buying sheep and camels for business. Whoever buys them afterwards, he has the better of the two choices. If he wishes, he may keep them, and if he wishes, he may return them for a measure of dates, not being inferior to Slovenian dates."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَلَقَّوْا الْبَيْعَ وَلَا تُصَرُّوا الْغَنَمَ وَالْإِبِلَ لِلْبَيْعِ فَمَنِ ابْتَاعَهَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ بِخَيْرِ النَّظَرَيْنِ إِنْ شَاءَ أَمْسَكَهَا وَإِنْ شَاءَ رَدَّهَا بِصَاعِ تَمْرٍ لَا سَمْرَاءَ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not burden the camels or the sheep. Whoever buys them after that, he is the best of the two observers after milking them. If it pleases her, he keeps her, and if it angers her, he returns her and gives a measure of dates."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا تُصَرُّوا الْإِبِلَ وَلَا الْغَنَمَ فَمَنِ ابْتَاعَهَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ بِخَيْرِ النَّظَرَيْنِ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَحْلُبَهَا فَإِنْ رَضِيَهَا أَمْسَكَهَا وَإِنْ سَخِطَهَا رَدَّهَا وَصَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ  

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: "Do not make the prices of she-camels and sheep expensive. Whoever buys them at a high price, then he has the option of returning it or holding it after milking it if he wishes. And he can return it with a measure of dates if he wishes."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا تُصَرُّوا الْإِبِلَ وَالْغَنَمَ فَمَنِ ابْتَاعَهَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّهُ بِخَيْرِ النَّظَرَيْنِ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَحْلُبَهَا إِنْ شَاءَ أَمْسَكَهَا وَإِنْ شَاءَ رَدَّهَا وَصَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ  

"لَا تُصرُّوا الإِبِلَ وَالْغَنَمَ، فَمْن ابْتَاعَهَا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّه بِخيرِ النَّظِرَينَ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَحْلِبَهَا، فَإِنْ شَاءَ أمْسَكَ، وإنْ شَاءَ رَدَّهَا وَصَاعَ تَمْرٍ".  

"لاَ تَلَقَّوُا الرُّكْبَانَ لِلْبَيْعِ، وَلاَ يَبعْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَيْعِ بَعْضٍ، وَلاَ تَنَاجَشُوا، وَلاَ يَبعْ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ، وَلاَ تَصُرُّوا الْغَنَمَ، وَمَنِ ابْتَاعَهَا فَهُوَ بِخَيْر النَّظِرَيْنِ بَعْد أَنْ يَحْلِبَهَا، إِنْ رَضِيَهَا أَمْسَكَهَا، وَإِنْ 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".
