Hadith 115

Sahih Bukhari

Book 34: Sales and Trade

Chapter 71

It is forbidden to meet the caravans on the way (to buy the goods away from the market)

باب النَّهْىِ عَنْ تَلَقِّي الرُّكْبَان

And the one who buys them, his bargain is invalid as he is a sinner if he knows it, for it is a kind of deceit, and deceit is forbidden.
وَأَنَّ بَيْعَهُ مَرْدُودٌ، لأَنَّ صَاحِبَهُ عَاصٍ آثِمٌ إِذَا كَانَ بِهِ عَالِمًا، وَهُوَ خِدَاعٌ فِي الْبَيْعِ، وَالْخِدَاعُ لاَ يَجُوزُ.
Sahih al-Bukhari 2164
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي التَّيْمِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ مَنِ اشْتَرَى مُحَفَّلَةً فَلْيَرُدَّ مَعَهَا صَاعًا‏.‏ قَالَ وَنَهَى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ تَلَقِّي الْبُيُوعِ‏.‏
`Abdullah:

Whoever buys an animal which has been kept unmilked for a long time, could return it, but has to pay a Sa of dates along with it. And the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade meeting the owners of goods on the way away from the market.
