قَالَ وَکُنَّا نَشْتَرِي الطَّعَامَ مِنْ الرُّکْبَانِ جِزَافًا فَنَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نَبِيعَهُ حَتَّی نَنْقُلَهُ مِنْ مَکَانِهِ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 3843
Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with them) reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: He who buys foodgrain should not sell that before taking possession of it. He (the narrator) said: We used to buy foodgrain from the caravans in bulk, but Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) forbade us to re-sell that until we had shifted it to some other place.
