حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " مَنِ ابْتَاعَ طَعَامًا فَلاَ يَبِعْهُ حَتَّى يَسْتَوْفِيَهُ " . زَادَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ " مَنِ ابْتَاعَ طَعَامًا فَلاَ يَبِعْهُ حَتَّى يَقْبِضَهُ ".
Translation
Abdullah ibn Maslama narrated to us: Malik narrated to us, from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, that the Prophet said: “Whoever buys food must not sell it until he has taken full possession of it.” Ismail added the wording: “Whoever buys food must not sell it until he takes possession of it.”
