حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا يَبِيعُ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ دَعُوا النَّاسَ يَرْزُقُ اللَّهُ بَعْضَهُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : حَدِيثُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ، وَحَدِيثُ جَابِرٍ فِي هَذَا هُوَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ أَيْضًا ، وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عِنْدَ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَغَيْرِهِمْ ، كَرِهُوا أَنْ يَبِيعَ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ ، وَرَخَّصَ بَعْضُهُمْ فِي أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ ، وقَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ : يُكْرَهُ أَنْ يَبِيعَ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ ، وَإِنْ بَاعَ فَالْبَيْعُ جَائِزٌ .
Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "No townsman should sell for a villager; leave the people (to sell their goods themselves). Allah provides sustenance to some through others." © Imam Tirmidhi says:
1- The hadith of Abu Hurairah is Hasan Sahih.
2- In this chapter, the hadith of Jabir is also Hasan Sahih.
3- Some of the scholars among the Companions acted upon this hadith. They considered it disliked that a townsman should sell the goods of a villager who comes from outside.
4- And some people have given concession that a townsman may buy goods for a villager.
5- Shafi'i says that it is disliked for a townsman to sell the goods of a villager, but if he does sell, the sale will be valid.

Hadith Commentary:
Benefits and Issues:
By performing prayer (salah), a person's minor sins (saghirah) are forgiven, because the effects of minor sins manifest on the outward body, and thus their removal is easy. Just as if dirt on the body does not penetrate the pores or if filth is not absorbed into the clothing, then washing it is easy. However, if the dirt that attaches to the body seeps inside, then even cleaning it with soap is not easy. The effects of major sins (kabirah) impact a person's heart, and therefore, they are not forgiven except through repentance (tawbah) or the special mercy of Allah Ta'ala.

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
The purpose is that transactions should proceed in a natural manner. Artificial scarcity should not be created, nor should inflation be caused through hoarding; rather, as production comes in, it should be sold in the market and continue to reach those in need. It is evident that if a city dweller sells the goods of a villager, he will engage in hoarding and create artificial scarcity so that the produce can be sold at a higher price for his own benefit.
