حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ عِيسَى ، الْمِصْرِيَّانِ قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : اشْتَرَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ حِمْلَ خَبَطٍ ، فَلَمَّا وَجَبَ الْبَيْعُ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " اخْتَرْ " ، فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ : عَمْرَكَ اللَّهَ بَيِّعًا .
´It was narrated that Jabir bin' Abdullah said:` "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) bought a load of fodder from a Bedouin man. When the transaction was concluded, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Choose (either to go ahead or to cancel the transaction).' The Bedouin said: 'May Allah grant you a long life of good transaction!"'

Benefits and Issues:
➊
By ḥiml (bundle or load) is meant the amount of something that a person can carry at one time on his head or back.
➋
By khabaṭ is meant the leaves of trees that are shaken down with a stick or similar object. These are used as fodder for animals.
➌
It is permissible to buy and sell a pile or bundle of something without measuring or weighing it, because its weight or quantity can be estimated by sight.

The right of khiyār al-majlis (the option of cancellation while both parties are still in the meeting) is available to the seller just as it is to the buyer.
➎
Advising someone in a way that benefits him is included in the goodwill of a Muslim, especially when he is unaware of the ruling.
➏
Making supplication (du‘a) for the benefactor is a moral obligation.
