  • قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ عَنْ تَلَقِّي الْجَلَبِ ‏.

    Al-jalab refers to goods brought in from elsewhere for sale; the previous report states the interception occurs before they reach the market.

    Does “intercepting goods brought to market” convey the named practice?
