Sahih Muslim 1527d (Book 21, Hadith 46) #10974
Prohibiting Bulk Buying and Selling of Foodgrains

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the prohibition of buying foodgrain in bulk and then selling it at the same spot before taking it to one's place.

Salim b. 'Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them) reported his father having said this: I saw people being beaten during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger in case they bought the foodgrain in bulk, and then sold them at that spot before taking it to their places. This hadith is narrated on the authority of 'Ubaidullah b. Abdullah b. 'Umar through another chain of transmitters (and the words are):" His father (Ibn 'Umar) used to buy foodgrains in bulk and then carried them to his people".
وَحَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ، قَالَ قَدْ رَأَيْتُ النَّاسَ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِذَا ابْتَاعُوا الطَّعَامَ جِزَافًا يُضْرَبُونَ فِي أَنْ يَبِيعُوهُ فِي مَكَانِهِمْ وَذَلِكَ حَتَّى يُئْوُوهُ إِلَى رِحَالِهِمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ وَحَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ كَانَ يَشْتَرِي الطَّعَامَ جِزَافًا فَيَحْمِلُهُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Do not engage in any practices that are unfair or unjust towards others

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the prohibition of buying foodgrains in bulk and then selling them at the same spot before taking them to one's place. It was narrated by Salim b. 'Abdullah, who reported his father having said this, as well as on the authority of 'Ubaidullah b. Abdullah b. Umar through another chain of transmitters that his father used to buy foodgrains in bulk and then carry them to his people. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ disapproved this practice because it would lead to an increase in prices due to hoarding or speculation which would be unfair for those who could not afford such prices or were unable to buy from other sources due to lack of access or resources. Therefore, this hadith teaches us that we should not engage in any practices that are unfair or unjust towards others, even if they may seem profitable for us personally at first glance.
