Chapter 43: If the time for the option is not fixed, will the deal be considered as legal? - كتاب البيوع
Narrated Ibn `Umar:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" الْبَيِّعَانِ بِالْخِيَارِ مَا لَمْ يَتَفَرَّقَا، أَوْ يَقُولُ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ اخْتَرْ ". وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ أَوْ يَكُونُ بَيْعَ خِيَارٍ.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The seller and the buyer have the option of canceling or confirming the deal
unless they separate, or one of them says to the other, 'Choose (i.e. decide to cancel or confirm the
bargain now)." Perhaps he said, 'Or if it is an optional sale.' " Ibn `Umar, Shuraih, Ash-Shu`bi, Tawus,
Ata, and Ibn Abu Mulaika agree upon this judgment.

buyer and the seller give the option of either confirming or canceling the bargain three times, and if
they speak the truth and mention the defects, then their bargain will be blessed, and if they tell lies and
conceal the defects, they might gain some financial gain but they will deprive their sale of (Allah's)
blessings."

وَقَالَ الْحُمَيْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي سَفَرٍ فَكُنْتُ عَلَى بَكْرٍ صَعْبٍ لِعُمَرَ، فَكَانَ يَغْلِبُنِي فَيَتَقَدَّمُ أَمَامَ الْقَوْمِ، فَيَزْجُرُهُ عُمَرُ وَيَرُدُّهُ، ثُمَّ يَتَقَدَّمُ فَيَزْجُرُهُ عُمَرُ وَيَرُدُّهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِعُمَرَ " بِعْنِيهِ ". قَالَ هُوَ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ " بِعْنِيهِ ". فَبَاعَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " هُوَ لَكَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ تَصْنَعُ بِهِ مَا شِئْتَ ".
We were accompanying the Prophet (ﷺ) on a journey and I was riding an unmanageable camel belonging to 'Umar (ra), and I could not bring it under my control. So, it used to go ahead of the party and 'Umar would check it and force it to retreat, and again it went ahead and again 'Umar forced it to retreat. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked 'Umar to sell that camel to him. 'Umar replied, "It is for you O Allah's Messenger !" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) told 'Umar to sell that camel to him (not to give it as gift). So, 'Umar sold it to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said to 'Abdullah bin 'Umar "This camel is for you O 'Abdullah (as a present) and you could do with it whatever you like."
I bartered my property in Khaibar to 'Uthman (chief of the faithful believers) for his property in Al-Wadi. When we finished the deal, I left immediately and got out of his house lest he should cancel the deal, for the tradition was that they buyer and the seller had the option of canceling the bargain unless they separated. When out deal was completed, I came to know that I have been unfair to 'Uthman, for by selling him my land I caused him to be in a land of Thamud, at a distance of three days journey from Al-Madina, while he made me neared to Al-Madina, at a distance of three days journey from my former land.

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "An army will invade the Ka`ba and when the invaders reach Al-Baida', all the
ground will sink and swallow the whole army." I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! How will they sink into the
ground while amongst them will be their markets (the people who worked in business and not
invaders) and the people not belonging to them?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "all of those people will sink
but they will be resurrected and judged according to their intentions."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The congregational prayer of anyone amongst you is more than twenty (five or
twenty seven) times in reward than his prayer in the market or in his house, for if he performs ablution
completely and then goes to the mosque with the sole intention of performing the prayer, and nothing
urges him to proceed to the mosque except the prayer, then, on every step which he takes towards the
mosque, he will be raised one degree or one of his sins will be forgiven. The angels will keep on
asking Allah's forgiveness and blessings for everyone of you so long as he keeps sitting at his praying
place. The angels will say, 'O Allah, bless him! O Allah, be merciful to him!' as long as he does not do
Hadath or a thing which gives trouble to the other." The Prophet (ﷺ) further said, "One is regarded in
prayer so long as one is waiting for the prayer."

market of Bani Qainuqa and then he sat in the compound of Fatima's house and asked about the small
boy (his grandson Al-Hasan) but Fatima kept the boy in for a while. I thought she was either changing

Ibn `Umar told us that the people used to buy food from the caravans in the lifetime of the Prophet.
The Prophet (ﷺ) used to forbid them to sell it at the very place where they had purchased it (but they were
to wait) till they carried it to the market where foodstuff was sold. Ibn `Umar said, 'The Prophet (ﷺ) also
forbade the reselling of foodstuff by somebody who had bought it unless he had received it with exact
full measure.'
I met `Abdullah bin `Amr bin Al-`As and asked him, "Tell me about the description of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
which is mentioned in Torah (i.e. revelation given to Musa (as).") He replied, 'Yes. By Allah, he is described in
Torah with some of the qualities attributed to him in the Qur'an as follows:
"O Prophet ! We have sent you as a witness (for Allah's True religion) And a giver of glad tidings (to
the faithful believers), And a warner (to the unbelievers) And guardian of the illiterates. You are My
slave and My messenger (i.e. Apostle). I have named you "Al-Mutawakkil" (who depends upon
Allah). You are neither discourteous, harsh Nor a noisemaker in the markets And you do not do evil to
those Who do evil to you, but you deal With them with forgiveness and kindness. Allah will not let
him (the Prophet) Die till he makes straight the crooked people by making them say: "None has the
right to be worshipped but Allah," With which will be opened blind eyes And deaf ears and enveloped
hearts."

`Abdullah bin `Amr bin Haram died and was in debt to others. I asked the Prophet (ﷺ) to intercede with
his creditors for some reduction in the debts. The Prophet (ﷺ) requested them (to reduce the debts) but
they refused. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, "Go and put your dates (In heaps) according to their different
kinds. The Ajwa on one side, the cluster of Ibn Zaid on another side, etc.. Then call me." I did that and
called the Prophet (ﷺ) He came and sat at the head or in the middle of the heaps and ordered me. Measure
(the dates) for the people (creditors)." I measured for them till I paid all the debts. My dates remained
as it nothing had been taken from them. In other narrations, Jabir said; The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "He (i.e.
`Abdullah) continued measuring for them till he paid all the debts." The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to `Abdullah),
"Cut (clusters) for him (i.e. one of the creditors) and measure for him fully."
