Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الرَّقِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الرَّقِّيُّ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى أَنْ يُتَلَقَّى الْجَلَبُ فَإِنْ تَلَقَّاهُ إِنْسَانٌ فَابْتَاعَهُ فَصَاحِبُ السِّلْعَةِ فِيهَا بِالْخِيَارِ إِذَا وَرَدَ السُّوقَ ‏ .‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَيُّوبَ وَحَدِيثُ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ كَرِهَ قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ تَلَقِّيَ الْبُيُوعِ وَهُوَ ضَرْبٌ مِنَ الْخَدِيعَةِ ‏.‏ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الشَّافِعِيِّ وَغَيْرِهِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا ‏.‏

Salamah ibn Shabib narrated to us: Abd Allah ibn Ja'far al-Raqqi narrated to us: Ubayd Allah ibn Amr al-Raqqi narrated to us, from Ayyub, from Muhammad ibn Sirin, from Abu Hurairah: The Prophet forbade intercepting incoming goods before they reach the market. If someone intercepts them and buys them, the owner of the goods has the choice to cancel the sale when he reaches the market. Abu Isa said: This hadith is hasan gharib through the route of Ayyub, while the hadith of Ibn Masud is hasan sahih. Some scholars disliked intercepting trade caravans because it is a form of deception. This is the view of al-Shafi'i and others among our colleagues.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
