حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَی مَالِکِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ نَهَی رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ بَيْعِ الْعُرْبَانِ قَالَ مَالِکٌ وَذَلِکَ فِيمَا نَرَی وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَ الرَّجُلُ الْعَبْدَ أَوْ يَتَکَارَی الدَّابَّةَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أُعْطِيکَ دِينَارًا عَلَی أَنِّي إِنْ تَرَکْتُ السِّلْعَةَ أَوْ الْکِرَائَ فَمَا أَعْطَيْتُکَ لَکَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3502
Narrated Amr bin Suhaib: On his father's authority, said that his grandfather told that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade the type of transactions in which earnest money was paid. Malik said: This means, as we think--Allah better knows-that a man buys a slave or hires an animal, and he says: I give you a dinar on condition that if I give up the transaction or hire, what I gave you is yours.
