Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ مَنِ ابْتَاعَ طَعَامًا فَلاَ يَبِيعُهُ حَتَّى يَسْتَوْفِيَهُ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Abdullah ibn Yusuf narrated to us: Malik informed us, from Nafi, from Abdullah ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, that the Messenger of Allah said: “Whoever buys food must not sell it until he has taken full possession of it.”

Translation notes
  • The Arabic refers generally to taking full possession; the witness specifies satisfaction with the measure.
