Prohibition of selling on another person’s sale
① It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
لا يبع بعضكم على بيع بعض
“None of you should sell on the sale of another person.”
② It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
لا يبع الرجل على بيع أخيه حتى يبتاع أو يدر
“No man should sell on his brother’s sale until he buys it or leaves it.”
Prohibition of selling something that is not present
① Sayyiduna Hakim bin Hizam رضي الله عنه narrates, I asked, O Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم! If a person comes to me with the intention of buying, but the item he wants is not with me, should I then buy it from the market and give it to him? The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said:
لا تبع ما ليس عندك
“Do not sell what you do not possess.”
Prohibition of Causing Separation Between Mother and Child
① Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub رضي الله عنه narrates, I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم say:
من فرق بين الوالدة وولدها فرق الله بينه وبين أحبته يوم القيامة
“Whoever causes separation between a mother and her child, Allah will cause separation between him and his most beloved person on the Day of Resurrection.”
② It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali رضي الله عنه that he caused separation between a slave woman and her child, so the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم forbade him from doing so and returned the sale.
Prohibition of Causing Separation Between Two Slave Brothers
① Sayyiduna Ali رضي الله عنه narrates that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم gave me two slaves, so I sold one of them. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said to me:
ما فعل غلامك ؟ “What has your slave done?”
I told him, and he صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said:
رده رده
“Bring him back, bring him back.”
