The Prohibition Of Selling Food Before Taking Possession Of It
Sunan Ibn Majah
حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " مَنِ ابْتَاعَ طَعَامًا فَلاَ يَبِعْهُ حَتَّى يَسْتَوْفِيَهُ " .
It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever buys food, let him not sell it until he has taken full possession of it."
