Arabic hadith text

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 ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Sulayman ibn Harb narrated to us: Shuaba narrated to us, from Qatada, from Salih Abu al-Khalil, from Abd Allah ibn al-Harith, who traced it back to Hakim ibn Hizam, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “The two parties to a sale have the option as long as they have not separated—or he said, until they separate. If they are truthful and make matters clear, their sale will be blessed for them; but if they conceal and lie, the blessing of their sale will be erased.”

Translation notes
  • The narrator preserves an alternative wording for the time at which the parties option ends.
