حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، أَوْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ بَاعَ بَيْعًا مِنْ رَجُلَيْنِ فَهُوَ لِلأَوَّلِ مِنْهُمَا " .

Humayd ibn Masadah narrated to us; Khalid ibn al-Harith narrated to us; Said narrated to us, from Qatadah, from al-Hasan, from Uqbah ibn Amir—or Samurah ibn Jundub—from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: “If a man makes a sale of an item to two men, it belongs to the first of them.”
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ،
The chain gives Uqbah ibn Amir or Samurah ibn Jundub, explicitly preserving uncertainty over which Companion transmitted it.
Does the translation clearly retain the alternative attribution?
أَوْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ بَاعَ بَيْعًا مِنْ رَجُلَيْنِ فَهُوَ لِلأَوَّلِ مِنْهُمَا " .
The report states that where the same sale is made to two men, it belongs to the first; it does not elaborate on how the competing sale arose.
Does “a sale of an item to two men” convey the general wording accurately?
