A man who buys something from another man

Ziyad bin Abi Ziyad says: I bought a goat from a man and paid the price. Then, when I came to take possession of it, the seller said that the goat had been about to die, so my family slaughtered it. I took the dispute to Shurayh, and Shurayh said: "Return the price to him."

Amir was asked about a man who bought a slave, and the buyer then said to the seller, "Sell him for me, for he will sell better through you," and the slave died in the seller's possession. He said: The seller will be liable for his price.

Ibrahim says that if the seller keeps the item sold with him in order to collect part of the price, and it perishes, it will be counted as from the seller's property.
