حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " لَا يَبِيعُ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ دَعُوا النَّاسَ يَرْزُقُ اللَّهُ بَعْضَهُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ " .
´It was narrated from Jabir bin 'Abdullah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:` "A city-dweller should not sell for a Bedouin. Leave people to (engage in trade) and Allah will grant them provision through one another."

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
The purpose is that transactions should proceed in a natural manner. Artificial scarcity should not be created, nor should inflation be caused through hoarding; rather, as production comes in, it should be sold in the market and continue to reach those in need. It is evident that if a city dweller sells the goods of a villager, he will engage in hoarding and create artificial scarcity so that the produce can be sold at a higher price for his own benefit.
