Narrator:Abdullāh ibn ‘Umar

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو ضَمْرَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَشْتَرُونَ الطَّعَامَ مِنَ الرُّكْبَانِ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَيَبْعَثُ عَلَيْهِمْ مَنْ يَمْنَعُهُمْ أَنْ يَبِيعُوهُ حَيْثُ اشْتَرَوْهُ، حَتَّى يَنْقُلُوهُ حَيْثُ يُبَاعُ الطَّعَامُ‏.‏ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ نَهَى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ

يُبَاعَ الطَّعَامُ إِذَا اشْتَرَاهُ حَتَّى يَسْتَوْفِيَهُ‏.‏

Narrated Nafi`:

Ibn `Umar told us that the people used to buy food from the caravans in the lifetime of the Prophet. The Prophet (ﷺ) used to forbid them to sell it at the very place where they had purchased it (but they were to wait) till they carried it to the market where foodstuff was sold. Ibn `Umar said, 'The Prophet (ﷺ) also forbade the reselling of foodstuff by somebody who had bought it unless he had received it with exact full measure.'

حَدِيث اِبْن عُمَر فِي نَقْل الطَّعَامِ مِنْ الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي يُشْتَرَى مِنْهُ إِلَى حَيْثُ يُبَاع الطَّعَام وَفِيهِ حَدِيثُهُ فِي النَّهْي عَنْ بَيْعِ الطَّعَامِ حَتَّى يَسْتَوْفِيَهُ وَسَيَأْتِي الْكَلَام عَلَيْهِمَا بَعْد أَرْبَعَة أَبْوَاب. وَقَدْ اُسْتُشْكِلَ إِدْخَالُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فِي بَابِ الْأَسْوَاقِ , وَأُجِيبَ بِأَنَّ السُّوقَ اِسْمٌ لِكُلِّ مَكَانٍ وَقَعَ فِيهِ التَّبَايُعِ بَيْنَ مَنْ يَتَعَاطَى الْبَيْع , فَلَا يَخْتَصُّ الْحُكْمُ الْمَذْكُور بِالْمَكَانِ الْمَعْرُوف بِالسُّوقِ بَلْ يَعُمُّ كُلَّ مَكَان يَقَع فِيهِ التَّبَايُع , فَالْعُمُوم فِي قَوْله فِي الْحَدِيث " حَيْثُ يُبَاع الطَّعَامُ ".…

Ibn ‘Umar said they used to buy grain in the upper part of the market and sell it in the same spot, but God’s Messenger forbade them to sell it there before removing it. Abu Dawud transmitted it. I have not found it in the two Sahihs.

وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: كَانُوا يَبْتَاعُونَ الطَّعَامَ فِي أَعلَى السُّوقِ فيبيعُونَه فِي مكانهِ فَنَهَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ بَيْعِهِ فِي مَكَانِهِ حَتَّى يَنْقِلُوهُ. رَوَاهُ…

that his father said. "I saw those, who used to buy foodstuff without measuring or weighing in the life time of the Prophet (ﷺ) being punished if they sold it before carrying it to their own houses."

رَأَيْتُ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ الطَّعَامَ مُجَازَفَةً يُضْرَبُونَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يَبِيعُوهُ حَتَّى يُئْوُوهُ إِلَى رِحَالِهِمْ‏.‏
