بَابُ النَّهْي عَنْ تَلَقَّى الرُّكْبَانِ وَأَنْ يَبِيعَ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادِChapter: Prohibition of intercepting caravans and a townsman selling for a Bedouin
Hadith 5887
اُردوEn
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ أَمَّا الَّذِي نَهَى عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُبَاعَ حَتَّى يُقْبَضَ فَالطَّعَامُ وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ بِرَأْيِهِ وَلَا أَحْسَبُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا مِثْلَهُ
(Second chain) Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) says: The thing which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade to sell before taking possession of it is grain, but I think that the ruling for every item is like that of grain.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … In the ahadith of this chapter, emphasis has been placed on the principle of sale that the buyer should take possession of the purchased item and transfer it from the place where the transaction occurred. In ahadith number (5881, 5886), the reason for this principle has been stated as being that this is usurious (riba-based) trade. Because if a person buys a heap of wheat for (100) dirhams and then sells it at the same place for (120) dirhams, it is as if he has collected (120) dirhams in exchange for (100) dirhams. Acting upon these rulings will only be possible when the aim of traders is not merely to accumulate as much wealth as possible without distinguishing between what is lawful (halal) and unlawful (haram).
