If A Man Sells An Item And A Third Party Has More Right To It
Sunan an-Nasai
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " الرَّجُلُ أَحَقُّ بِعَيْنِ مَالِهِ إِذَا وَجَدَهُ وَيَتْبَعُ الْبَائِعُ مَنْ بَاعَهُ " .
It was narrated from Sammurah that the Messenger of Allah said: "A man has more right to his own wealth when he finds it, and the buyer should pursue the one who sold it to him."
