972 صحيح حديث عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رضي الله عنه، قَالَ: مَنِ اشْتَرَى شَاةً مُحَفَّلَةً فَرَدَّهَا فَلْيَرُدَّ مَعَهَا صَاعًا؛ وَنَهى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ تُلَقَّى الْبُيُوعُ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said that whoever buys a lactating goat and wants to return it, he should give along with it one sa’ (measure), and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade buying from caravan people (who bring goods to sell) by going ahead to meet them.
Brief Explanation
This is in the meaning of the verse, that is, a goat, cow, or she-camel whose owner does not milk it for several days so that its milk accumulates in the udders. When the buyer milks it, he considers it to be one with abundant milk and thus pays a higher price. However, after a few days, it becomes clear that this was a deception, because its milk had been accumulated. For this reason, it is called "muhallalah." (Murattib rahimahullah)
