كِتَاب الْبُيُوعِ

Chapter 64

(64) Chapter. The seller is not allowed to keep camels, cows, sheep or any other animal unmilked for a long time (so as to get more price by cheating).

64- بَابُ النَّهْيِ لِلْبَائِعِ أَنْ لاَ يُحَفِّلَ الإِبِلَ وَالْبَقَرَ وَالْغَنَمَ وَكُلَّ مُحَفَّلَةٍ:

English narration

Narrated by عبد الله بن مسعود

Whoever buys a sheep which has not been milked for a long time, has the option of returning it along with one Sa of dates; and the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade going to meet the seller on the way (as he has no knowledge of the market price and he may sell his goods at a low price).

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبِي ، يَقُولُ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُثْمَانَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : "

مَنِ اشْتَرَى شَاةً مُحَفَّلَةً فَرَدَّهَا ، فَلْيَرُدَّ مَعَهَا صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ ، وَنَهَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ تُلَقَّى الْبُيُوعُ
