Takhrij:
«أخرجه البخاري، البيوع، باب النهي للبائع أن لا يحفل الإبل والبقرو الغنم، حديث:2149.»©Explanation:
The fatwa of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud radi Allahu anhu is in complete agreement with the narration of Abu Hurairah radi Allahu anhu, and the majority of the Hanafi rulings are based on the jurisprudence (fiqh) of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud radi Allahu anhu.
Consider carefully: if Abu Hurairah radi Allahu anhu is regarded as non-jurist and lacking discernment, then what is to be said about Abdullah ibn Mas'ud radi Allahu anhu?

Hadith Commentary:
Imam Bukhari rahimahullah has narrated the aforementioned report from Abdullah ibn Mas’ud radi Allahu anhu so that those who disparage Abu Hurairah radi Allahu anhu as being non-juristic and thereby reject the aforementioned hadith may reflect upon themselves, for the content of this hadith is also narrated from Abdullah ibn Mas’ud radi Allahu anhu, whom these very people accept as an Imam in jurisprudence (fiqh) and independent reasoning (ijtihad).

On this subject, Imam Ibn al-Qayyim has written extensively in "I’lam al-Muwaqqi’in".

A narration from Abdullah ibn Mas’ud radi Allahu anhu is reported in these words:
“I swear by Allah that the truthful and trusted Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam declared the sale of animals with withheld milk to be a deception, and said that it is not permissible to deceive a Muslim in this manner.”
