Chapter: To explain the good and bad points of the transaction

Authentic hadith of Sahih al-Bukhari Muttafaq ‘alayh (Bukhari and Muslim) Sahih al-Bukhari 2079

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ صَالِحٍ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، رَفَعَهُ إِلَى حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏

الْبَيِّعَانِ بِالْخِيَارِ مَا لَمْ يَتَفَرَّقَا ـ أَوْ قَالَ حَتَّى يَتَفَرَّقَا ـ فَإِنْ صَدَقَا وَبَيَّنَا بُورِكَ لَهُمَا فِي بَيْعِهِمَا، وَإِنْ كَتَمَا وَكَذَبَا مُحِقَتْ بَرَكَةُ بَيْعِهِمَا ‏"

Narrated Hakim bin Hizam:

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The seller and the buyer have the right to keep or return goods as long as they have not parted or till they part; and if both the parties spoke the truth and described the defects and qualities (of the goods), then they would be blessed in their transaction, and if they told lies or hid something, then the blessings of their transaction would be lost."

Explanation in Arabic

قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: البائع والمشتري بالخيار في المجلس ما لم يفترقا بأبدانهما عن مكانهما الذي تبايعا فيه، فإن صدقا فيما يتعلق بالثمن ووصف المبيع ونحو ذلك وبيّنا ما يحتاج إليه بيانه من عيب ونحوه في السلعة والثمن، كثر نفع المبيع والثمن، وإن كتم البائع عيب السلعة والمشتري عيب الثمن، وكذبا في وصف السلعة والثمن أُذهبت بركة بيعهما أي زيادته ونماؤه، فإن فعله أحدهما دون الآخر محقت بركة بيعه وحده، ويحتمل أن يعود شؤم أحدهما على الآخر بأن تنزع البركة من المبيع إذا وجد الكذب أو الكتم.

حرمة الكذب والكتمان في البيع من العيوب.
تحل البركة في البيع بالصدق والبيان بين البائع والمشتري.
