Arabic hadith text
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ رَجُلاً، قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ ابْتَعْ لِي هَذَا الْبَعِيرَ بِنَقْدٍ حَتَّى أَبْتَاعَهُ مِنْكَ إِلَى أَجَلٍ فَسُئِلَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ فَكَرِهَهُ وَنَهَى عَنْهُ .
Translation
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that a man saidto another, "Buy this camel for me immediately so that I can buy himfrom you on credit." Abdullah ibn Umar was asked about that and hedisapproved of it and forbade it.
