Sahih al-Bukhari 2165 (Book 34, Hadith 116) #2079
The Prohibition of Cancelling Purchases

SUMMARY: It is not permissible to try and cancel the purchases of one another or to go ahead and meet a caravan before it reaches the market.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: Allah's Messenger said, "You should not try to cancel the purchases of one another (to get a benefit thereof), and do not go ahead to meet the caravan (for buying the goods) (but wait) till it reaches the market".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ يَبِيعُ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَيْعِ بَعْضٍ، وَلاَ تَلَقَّوُا السِّلَعَ حَتَّى يُهْبَطَ بِهَا إِلَى السُّوقِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Wait till caravans reach the market before attempting to buy goods from them

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that it is not permissible for people to try and cancel each other's purchases in order to gain a benefit from it. Additionally, we are also taught that we should not go ahead and meet caravans before they reach the market. This means that we should wait until they arrive at their destination before attempting to buy goods from them. These teachings are important as they ensure fairness in trade between people and prevent any kind of exploitation or manipulation of prices by those who have access to information about caravans earlier than others.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ also taught us that honesty is an important part of our faith as Muslims. We must always strive for fairness in all our dealings with others so that no one is taken advantage of or exploited due to their lack of knowledge or resources. By following these teachings, we can ensure justice in all our transactions with others which will lead us closer towards achieving success both in this life and the hereafter.
