أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ نَهَی رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُتَلَقَّی الرُّکْبَانُ وَأَنْ يَبِيعَ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ مَا قَوْلُهُ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ قَالَ لَا يَکُونُ لَهُ سِمْسَارٌ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4515
It was narrated from Ibn Tawus, from his father, that Ibn ‘Abbas said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم forbade meeting the riders, and for a town-dweller to sell for a desert-dweller.” I said to Ibn ‘Abbas: “What does a town-dweller (selling) for a desert-dweller mean?” He said: “He should not act as a broker for him.” (Sahih)
