وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ
نَافِعٍ ، أَنَّ حَكِيمَ بْنَ حِزَامٍ ابْتَاعَ طَعَامًا أَمَرَ بِهِ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ لِلنَّاسِ، فَبَاعَ حَكِيمٌ الطَّعَامَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْتَوْفِيَهُ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ
عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ، فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيْهِ، وَقَالَ :
" لَا تَبِعْ طَعَامًا ابْتَعْتَهُ حَتَّى تَسْتَوْفِيَهُ "
It is narrated from Nafi that Hakim bin Hizam bought grain which Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) had distributed among the people, then Hakim bin Hizam sold that grain before taking possession of it. When Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came to know of this, he returned that grain to Hakim bin Hizam and said: Do not sell any grain that you buy until you have taken possession of it.
