حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضى الله عنه

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا تَلَقَّوُا الرُّكْبَانَ، وَلَا يَبِيعُ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَيْعِ بَعْضٍ وَلَا تَنَاجَشُوا وَلَا يَبِيعُ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ، وَلَا تُصَرُّوا الْغَنَمَ، وَمَنِ ابْتَاعَهَا فَهْوَ بِخَيْرِ النَّظَرَيْنِ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَحْتَلِبَهَا إِنْ رَضِيَهَا أَمْسَكَهَا، وَإِنْ سَخِطَهَا رَدَّهَا وَصَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Do not go forward to meet the caravan (to buy from it on the way before it reaches the town). And do not urge buyers to cancel their purchases to sell them (your own goods) yourselves, and do not practice Najsh. A town dweller should not sell the goods for the desert dweller.

Do not leave sheep unmilked for a long time, when they are on sale, and whoever buys such an animal has the option of returning it, after milking it, along with a Sa of dates or keeping it. it has been kept unmilked for a long period by the seller (to deceive others).”

আবূ হুরাইরাহ্ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত যে, আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেন, তোমরা (পণ্যবাহী) কাফেলার সাথে (শহরে প্রবেশের পূর্বে) সাক্ষাৎ করবে না তোমাদের কেউ যেন কারো ক্রয়-বিক্রয়ের উপর ক্রয়-বিক্রয় না করে। তোমরা প্রতারণামূলক দালালী করবে না। শহরবাসী তোমাদের কেউ যেন গ্রামবাসীর পক্ষে বিক্রয় না করে।

তোমরা বকরীর দুধ আটকিয়ে রাখবে না। যে এরূপ বকরী ক্রয় করবে, সে দুধ দোহনের পরে এ দু’টির মধ্যে যেটি ভাল মনে করবে, তা করতে পারে। সে যদি এতে সন্তুষ্ট হয় তবে বকরী রেখে দিবে, আর যদি সে তা অপছন্দ করে তবে ফেরত দিবে এবং এক সা‘ পরিমাণ খেজুর দিবে। (২১৪০)

ہم سے عبداللہ بن یوسف نے بیان کیا، کہا کہ ہم کو امام مالک نے خبر دی، انہیں ابوالزناد نے، انہیں اعرج نے، اور انہیں ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا ( تجارتی ) قافلوں کی پیشوائی ( ان کا سامان شہر پہنچے سے پہلے ہی خرید لینے کی غرض سے ) نہ کرو۔

ایک شخص کسی دوسرے کی بیع پر بیع نہ کرے اور کوئی «نجش» ( دھوکہ فریب ) نہ کرے اور کوئی شہری، بدوی کا مال نہ بیچے اور بکری کے تھن میں دودھ نہ روکے۔ لیکن اگر کوئی اس ( آخری ) صورت میں جانور خرید لے تو اسے دوہنے کے بعد دونوں طرح کے اختیارات ہیں۔

اگر وہ اس بیع پر راضی ہے تو جانور کو روک سکتا ہے اور اگر وہ راضی نہیں تو ایک صاع کھجور اس کے ساتھ دے کر اسے واپس کر دے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Abdullah bin Yusuf] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Malik] dari [Abu Az Zanad] dari [Al A'raj] dari [Abu Hurairah radliallahu 'anhu] bahwa Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Janganlah kalian mencegat rombongan dagang (sebelum sampai di pasar) dan jangan pula sebagian kalian membeli barang yang dibeli orang lain (sedang ditawar) dan janganlah melebihkan harga tawaran barang (yang sedang ditawar orang lain, dengan maksud menipu pembeli) dan janganlah orang kota membeli buat orang desa.

Janganlah kalian menahan susu dari unta dan kambing (yang kurus dengan maksud menipu calon pembeli). Maka siapa yang membelinya setelah itu maka dia punya hak pilih, bila dia rela maka diambilnya dan bila dia tidak suka dikembalikannya dengan menambah satu sha' kurma

Ebu Hureyre r.a. Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'in şöyle dediğini söylemiştir: "Kervanları (pazarın dışında) karşılamayın, Birbirinizin satımı üzerine satım yapmayın. Neceş yapmayın (satın alma niyetiniz bulunmadığı halde malın fiyatını arttırmayın). Şehirli kimse köylü adına satış yapmasın, Davarları, sütlü görünsün diye sağmaksızın bırakmayın, Kim böyle bir hayvan satın alırsa, hayvanı sağdıktan sonra şu ikisinden birini seçer: Razı olursa hayvanı elinde tutar, istemezse hayvanı, bir sa' hurma ile birlikte geri verir

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbids five types of sale transactions, due to the harm involved in them that would befall the buyer or the seller or other parties. 1. He forbade people from going out to meet the trade caravans coming to sell their merchandise including foodstuff and animals, aiming thereby to meet them before they arrive at the local market and to buy from them taking advantage of their ignorance of the prices.

They may, thus, be easily cheated and deprived of their full profit. 2. He also prohibited urging the buyer or seller to cancel the transaction that has already been made so as to take the deal for oneself. This occurs when someone tells the buyer, while still in the contracting session, when the option to cancel the transaction is still in effect, that he is ready to offer him something of better quality, or a better price.

Or if someone is selling an item, he would tell him that he will buy it for a higher price. He does this only to cancel the current transaction and take it for himself. It is also prohibited to do this after there is no longer an opportunity to cancel the transaction by virtue of “Khiyār al-Majlis” (an option whereby the parties have right to withdraw from a contract so long as the parties do not leave the place of contract) and “Khiyār Ash-Shart” (an option to cancel a previous agreed upon sale within a specific number of days), due to the disputation, animosity and hatred that this provocation may lead to, and the damage it causes to people’s livelihood.

3. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) also prohibited Najsh, which is bidding on a commodity without the intention of buying it, but rather to aid the seller by increasing the bidding price, or to cause damage to the buyer by making the merchandise more expensive for him to buy. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade this action owing to the lying and deceiving of the buyers, and because of raising the commodity’s price by way of deception and fraud.

4. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) also prohibited a resident of a city to sell commodities on behalf of a Bedouin. This is because the townsman knows the prices better than the Bedouin, so the people of the city would not be able to benefit from the lower prices the Bedouin would offer them.

The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Leave people alone, Allah will give them provision through one another.” 5. The prohibition of selling cattle after tying up their udders so that the buyer thinks that the animal always has that much milk, and so he buys it for a higher price. The Shariah has given the buyer a three-day period in which he can retrieve his right.

He may keep it if he so wishes, or return it to the seller after he has known that its udder was tied up. If he milked it while it was with him, and wishes to return it, then he can do so along with offering one Sā‘ of dates, in place of the milk he got from it.
