Buying Goods from Riders

SUMMARY: The Prophet advises not to buy goods from riders and to return them if they have been bought in that manner, along with a Sa of dates.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet said: "Do not go out to meet the riders, and do not bind the udders of camels and seep. Whoever has bought anything in that manner has two choices: If he wishes he may keep it, or if he wants to return it he may return it, along with a Sa of dates". (Sahih )
