Going out to meet goods before they reach the market

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not go outside the city to meet the caravan carrying trade goods in order to buy at a low price and sell on for more; do not collect milk in the udders of a she-camel in order to sell her; and do not raise the price of goods for the sake of one another.

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Do not buy from the farmer at a low price before he reaches the market and then sell on at a higher price.

Iyas (may Allah have mercy on him) said that an order of Umar bin Abd al-Aziz was read out before us, and written in it was: Do not go outside the city to meet the riders (in order to buy at a low price and sell for more).

Muhammad (may Allah have mercy on him) said that we have been forbidden to go outside the city and buy goods from caravan people at a low price. If, despite this prohibition, a person goes outside the city and buys, then the owner of the goods will have the option when he arrives in the city. (If he wishes he may cancel the first sale.)

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade going outside the city to buy goods from caravan people at a low price and bringing them into the city to sell at a higher price.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not go outside the city to meet caravan people in order to buy goods at a low price.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade going outside the city to buy goods at a low price and bringing them into the city to sell at a higher price.

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar and Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade going to the openings of the roads to meet those bringing goods for sale before they reach the market (and buying from them at a low price).
