حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ الْخَبَّاطِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُتَلَقَّى الرُّكْبَانُ أَوْ يَبِيعَ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ وَلَا يَخْطُبْ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ حَتَّى يَنْكِحَ أَوْ يَدَعَ وَلَا صَلَاةَ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ حَتَّى تَغِيبَ الشَّمْسُ وَلَا بَعْدَ الصُّبْحِ حَتَّى تَرْتَفِعَ الشَّمْسُ أَوْ تُضْحِيَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 5010
It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) forbade intercepting traders, or town dwellers to sell for Bedouin, (and he said): "No one of you should propose marriage when his brother has already proposed, until he marries her or cancels it; there is no prayer after 'Asr until the sun sets, and no prayer after Fajr until the sun is fully risen."
