Sahih al-Bukhari 2114 (Book 34, Hadith 67) #2030
Blessing of Truthful Bargaining

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) taught that both the buyer and seller have the option to cancel or confirm a bargain, and if they speak truthfully about any defects in the item, their bargain will be blessed.

Narrated Hakim bin Hizam: The Prophet said, "Both the buyer and the seller have the option of canceling or confirming the bargain unless they separate". The sub-narrator, Hammam said, "I found this in my book: 'Both the 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".
حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَبَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ الْبَيِّعَانِ بِالْخِيَارِ مَا لَمْ يَتَفَرَّقَا ‏"‏ ـ قَالَ هَمَّامٌ وَجَدْتُ فِي كِتَابِي يَخْتَارُ ثَلاَثَ مِرَارٍ ـ ‏"‏فَإِنْ صَدَقَا وَبَيَّنَا بُورِكَ لَهُمَا فِي بَيْعِهِمَا، وَإِنْ كَذَبَا وَكَتَمَا فَعَسَى أَنْ يَرْبَحَا رِبْحًا، وَيُمْحَقَا بَرَكَةَ بَيْعِهِمَا ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو التَّيَّاحِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ، يُحَدِّثُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us about the importance of truthful bargaining when buying or selling something. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that both parties have an option to either confirm or cancel a bargain unless they separate. He also said that if they tell lies and conceal any defects in what is being sold then their sale will not be blessed by Allah. This means it is important for buyers and sellers to be honest with each other so that their transaction can be blessed by Allah. It is also important for them to mention any defects in what is being sold so that there are no misunderstandings between them later on. By following these teachings we can ensure our transactions are conducted with honesty and integrity which will bring blessings from Allah upon us all.
