A townsman should not sell on behalf of a villager
Hadith 439
اَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُالرَّزَّاقِ، نَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ ابْنِ طَاؤُوْسٍ، عَنْ اَبِیْهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ رَسُوْلِ اللّٰهِ صَلَّی اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اَنَّه نَهٰی اَنْ یَّبِیْعَ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: مَا قَوْلُهٗ: لَا یَبِیْعُ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ؟ قَالَ: لَا یَکُنْ لَهٗ سِمْسَارًا.
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace be upon him) forbade that a townsman should sell on behalf of a villager. The narrator said: I asked Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both): What is meant by your statement, "A townsman should not sell on behalf of a villager"? He replied: That he should not become his agent (broker).
