بَابُ : مَنْ بَاعَ عَقَارًا وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ ثَمَنَهُ فِي مِثْلِهِ
Chapter: One Who Sells Property And Does Not Use The Money For Something Similar
Sunan Ibn Majah 2490 — One Who Sells Property And Does Not Use
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُهَاجِرٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ حُرَيْثٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " مَنْ بَاعَ دَارًا أَوْ عَقَارًا فَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ ثَمَنَهُ فِي مِثْلِهِ كَانَ قَمِنًا أَنْ لَا يُبَارَكَ فِيهِ " .
´It was narrated that Sa'eed bin Huraith said:` “I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Whoever sells a house or property and does not use the money for something similar, deserves not to be blessed therein.' ”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ ، حَدَّثَنِي إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُهَاجِرٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ حُرَيْثٍ ، عَنْ أَخِيهِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ حُرَيْثٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلَهُ .
'From this chain as well,' a narration similar to this has been reported.
Brief Explanation
1؎: SubhanAllah, this hadith is a great admonition for worldly people. Cash money is always spent; sometimes it is stolen or lost, unlike immovable property. Therefore, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) considered it disliked to sell property if another property is not purchased in exchange, because if one only keeps cash, it would have been better to keep the property with oneself.
