Sunan Abi Dawud 3446 (Book 24, Hadith 31) #23736
Returning Sheep with Wheat

SUMMARY: A buyer has the option to return a sheep within three days if its udders have been tied up, and should return with it wheat equal to its milk or double of it.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: The Prophet said: If anyone buys a sheep whose udders have been tied up, he has option for three days (for decision). If he returns it, he should return with it wheat equal to its milk or double of it.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ، حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ جُمَيْعِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ التَّيْمِيِّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ مَنِ ابْتَاعَ مُحَفَّلَةً فَهُوَ بِالْخِيَارِ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ فَإِنْ رَدَّهَا رَدَّ مَعَهَا مِثْلَ أَوْ مِثْلَىْ لَبَنِهَا قَمْحًا
