Sales and Trade

كتاب البيوع

(71) Chapter: It is forbidden to meet the caravans on the way (to buy the goods away from the market)

باب النَّهْىِ عَنْ تَلَقِّي الرُّكْبَان

Narrated Tawus:

I asked Ibn `Abbas, “What is the meaning of, ‘No town dweller should sell (or buy) for a desert dweller’?” Ibn `Abbas said, “It means he should not become his broker.”

 
حَدَّثَنِي عَيَّاشُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ مَا مَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ ‏ “‏ لاَ يَبِيعَنَّ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ ‏”‏‏.‏ فَقَالَ لاَ يَكُنْ لَهُ سِمْسَارًا‏.‏
