Prohibition of making a sale over another’s sale
Hadith 438
أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: ((لَا يَبِيعُ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ وَلَا يَسُومُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى سَوْمِ أَخِيهِ وَلَا يَخْطُبُ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ، وَلَا تَنَاجَشُوا، وَلَا تَسَأَلُ الْمَرْأَةُ طَلَاقَ أُخْتِهَا لِتَكْتَفِئَ مَا فِي صَحْفَتِهَا، فَإِنَّمَا لَهَا مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهَا وَلَا تَصُرُّوا الْإِبِلَ وَالْغَنَمَ فَمَنِ اشْتَرَى مُصَرَّاةً فَهُوَ بِآخِرِ النَّظَرَيْنِ، فَمَنْ رَدَّهَا رَدَّهَا بِصَاعٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ، وَالرَّهْنُ مَرْكُوبٌ وَمَحْلُوبٌ)) .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: A townsman should not sell for a villager, nor should a man bid against his brother’s price, nor should he send a marriage proposal over his brother’s proposal. Do not artificially raise prices merely to increase the price (bidding). A woman should not demand the divorce of her (Muslim) sister so that she may obtain what is in her vessel; she will only get what is decreed for her. And do not withhold milk in the udders of camels and goats. So, whoever buys such an animal whose milk has been withheld, he has the choice of two options: if he returns it, then he should return it with one sa’ (approximately two and a quarter kilograms) of dates. An animal held as collateral may be ridden and its milk may be drunk.
