Sales and Trade
34/70. Chapter:
A town dweller should not buy goods for a desert dweller and charge commission as a broker
وَكَرِهَهُ ابْنُ سِيرِينَ وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ لِلْبَائِعِ وَالْمُشْتَرِي، وَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِنَّ الْعَرَبَ تَقُولُ بِعْ لِي ثَوْبًا. وَهْيَ تَعْنِي الشِّرَاءَ.Ibn Sirin and Ibrahim disliked (working as a broker for a desert dweller) whether as a seller or a buyer. Ibrahim said, "Arabs use the word 'to buy' in the meaning of 'to sell'."
Sahih Bukhari
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذٌ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ نُهِينَا أَنْ يَبِيعَ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ.
Narrated Anas bin Malik: We were forbidden that a town dweller should sell goods of a desert dweller.
