Sahih al-Bukhari 2148 (Book 34, Hadith 100) #2063
Keeping Animals Unmilked for Too Long

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) advised not to keep camels and sheep unmilked for a long time, and if someone buys such an animal, they have the option to milk it and then either keep it or return it with one Sa of dates.

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Don't keep camels and sheep unmilked for a long time, for whoever buys such an animal has the option to milk it and then either to keep it or return it to the owner along with one Sa of dates". Some narrated from Ibn Seereen (that the Prophet had said), "One Sa of wheat, and he has the option for three days". And some narrated from Ibn Seereen, " . a Sa of dates," not mentioning the option for three days. But a Sa of dates is mentioned in most narrations.
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ‏"‏ لاَ تُصَرُّوا الإِبِلَ وَالْغَنَمَ، فَمَنِ ابْتَاعَهَا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّهُ بِخَيْرِ النَّظَرَيْنِ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَحْتَلِبَهَا إِنْ شَاءَ أَمْسَكَ، وَإِنْ شَاءَ رَدَّهَا وَصَاعَ تَمْرٍ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَيُذْكَرُ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ وَمُجَاهِدٍ وَالْوَلِيدِ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ وَمُوسَى بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ‏"‏ صَاعَ تَمْرٍ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ صَاعًا مِنْ طَعَامٍ وَهْوَ بِالْخِيَارِ ثَلاَثًا‏.‏ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ‏.‏ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ ثَلاَثًا، وَالتَّمْرُ أَكْثَرُ‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Do not keep camels and sheep unmilked for a long time; Be generous in dealings; Be mindful when treating animals; Be aware about rights in transactions.

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that we should not keep animals like camels and sheep unmilked for too long. If someone buys such an animal, they have the option to milk it first before deciding whether to keep it or return it with one Sa of dates as compensation. This hadith teaches us that we should be mindful of how we treat animals, as well as being generous in our dealings with others. We should also be aware of our rights when buying something from another person so that both parties are satisfied with the transaction.
