Sahih al-Bukhari 2123, 2124 (Book 34, Hadith 76) #2039
Reselling Foodstuff with Exact Measure

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade people from reselling foodstuff unless they had received it with exact full measure.

Narrated Nafi': Ibn 'Umar told us that the people used to buy food from the caravans in the lifetime of the Prophet. The Prophet 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 also forbade the reselling of foodstuff by somebody who had bought it unless he had received it with exact full measure'.
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو ضَمْرَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَشْتَرُونَ الطَّعَامَ مِنَ الرُّكْبَانِ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ فَيَبْعَثُ عَلَيْهِمْ مَنْ يَمْنَعُهُمْ أَنْ يَبِيعُوهُ حَيْثُ اشْتَرَوْهُ، حَتَّى يَنْقُلُوهُ حَيْثُ يُبَاعُ الطَّعَامُ‏.‏ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ نَهَى النَّبِيُّ أَنْ يُبَاعَ الطَّعَامُ إِذَا اشْتَرَاهُ حَتَّى يَسْتَوْفِيَهُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of trading and selling food in precise amounts. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that when buying food from caravans, people should not resell it at the same place they bought it, but instead take it to a market where food is sold. He also taught that if someone did buy something to resell, they should make sure that they received the exact amount of what was promised. This teaches us to be honest and fair in our dealings with others, and to always make sure we are getting what we paid for. It also encourages us to shop around for the best deals so we can get the most value out of our money.
