A man who sells goods to another for a deferred term and stipulates: If he sells them before the term, he has more right to them

Muhammad (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked about a man who sold goods on credit for two months and stipulated to the buyer that if he sold them before the two months he would pay him in cash. He said: "I see no harm in it."

Abd al-Aziz bin Rufay' said: I sold a slave-girl to a man and stipulated with him (a condition) in case my heart should go after her. Then my heart did go after her, so I took the dispute to Shurayh. He said: "You have acknowledged the sale, so you must bring witnesses to the condition."

Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) declared the condition permissible (valid) for ten-odd days.
