أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنْ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا تَلَقَّوْا الرُّکْبَانَ لِلْبَيْعِ وَلَا تُصَرُّوا الْإِبِلَ وَالْغَنَمَ مَنْ ابْتَاعَ مِنْ ذَلِکَ شَيْئًا فَهُوَ بِخَيْرِ النَّظَرَيْنِ فَإِنْ شَائَ أَمْسَکَهَا وَإِنْ شَائَ أَنْ يَرُدَّهَا رَدَّهَا وَمَعَهَا صَاعُ تَمْرٍ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4502
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “Do not go out to meet the riders, and do not bind the udders of camels and sheep. Whoever has bought anything in that manner has two choices: If he wishes he may keep it, or if he wants to return it he may return it, along with a Sa’ of dates.”(Sahih).
