Sayyiduna Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), I am a person who buys goods, so what part of it is lawful for me and what part is unlawful for me?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "O my nephew! When you buy something, do not sell it further until you have taken possession of it." (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) This narration is famous as being transmitted from Sayyiduna Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) through Yusuf bin Malik. In this, there is no mention of the narrator named Abdullah bin Ismah, and this narration is "gharib" (rare/isolated).

Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: A man came from Syria bringing olive oil. Among the traders who bid for it, I also participated in the bidding until I bought that oil from him. Then a man came to me and started offering me a higher price until he satisfied me. I was about to strike my hand with his (i.e., finalize the deal) when suddenly someone grabbed my wrist from behind. I turned around and saw that it was Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him). He said to me: "Do not sell it until you have transferred it to your specific place, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade this." (Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, says) So I withheld my hand.

Sayyiduna Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I bought some grain from the charity grain. Before taking possession of it, I started getting profit from it. I intended to sell it. I asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) about this, so he said: Do not sell it until you have taken possession of it.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever buys any grain should not sell it until he has taken full possession of it." The narrator states: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade a person from selling it before transferring it to another place. (The narrator is unsure about one word here.)

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: I saw that in the blessed era of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), those grain dealers were beaten who, after buying grain by estimation, would sell it to others before transferring it to their own designated place.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the sale of fruit until it becomes (fit for eating).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade selling fruit until its goodness becomes apparent. (That is, until it ripens.)

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade selling fruit until it becomes good. He was asked, "What is meant by 'becomes good'?" He replied, "Until it turns red." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "What do you think, if Allah withholds the fruit (its production), then on what basis would any one of you take his brother's wealth?"

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade selling fruit before its goodness becomes apparent. He forbade both the seller and the buyer (from doing so).

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates regarding the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): He forbade muhaqala, muzabana, mukhabara, and the sale of dates on the tree until their color changes. The meaning of the color changing is: that they become red or yellow, or become fit for eating. The narrator named Zaid bin Abu Anisah states: I asked Ata bin Abi Rabah, "Did you yourself hear Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrate this from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He replied, "Yes." The Sheikh says: This narrator named Abu Walid is Saeed bin Mina, from whom Imam Abu Hanifa (may Allah have mercy on him) has narrated traditions.
