Rights of Buyers Regarding Sheep and Goats

SUMMARY: A buyer of sheep or goat has the right to return it if he is not pleased with it, and must pay one sa' of dates for milking it.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Messenger of Allah as saying: If anyone buys sheep or goat whose udders have been tied up and he milked it, he may keep it if he is pleased with it, or he may return it if he is displeased with it. There is one sa' of dates (which he must give to the seller) for milking it.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ التَّمِيمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمَكِّيُّ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ - حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، حَدَّثَنِي زِيَادٌ، أَنَّ ثَابِتًا، مَوْلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ، سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ مَنِ اشْتَرَى غَنَمًا مُصَرَّاةً احْتَلَبَهَا فَإِنْ رَضِيَهَا أَمْسَكَهَا وَإِنْ سَخِطَهَا فَفِي حَلْبَتِهَا صَاعٌ مِنْ تَمْرٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the rights of buyers when purchasing sheep or goats. If a buyer purchases a sheep or goat whose udders have been tied up and he milks it but is not pleased with the purchase then he has the right to return it. However in this case there is an obligation on him to give one sa' of dates as payment for milking the animal. This hadith teaches us that we should be honest in our dealings and that we should respect other people's property even if we are not satisfied with what we have purchased from them. It also teaches us that fairness should be observed when dealing with others; if something was taken from someone then they should be compensated for their loss.
