Sunan Abi Dawud 3459 (Book 24, Hadith 44) #23749
Honesty in Business Transactions

SUMMARY: Business transactions should be conducted with honesty and transparency, and both parties have the right to annul the transaction until they separate.

Narrated Hakim b. Hizam: The Messenger of Allah as saying: Both parties in a business transaction have a right of option (to annul it) so long as they are not separated ; and if they tell the truth and make everything clear, they will be blessed in their transaction, but it they conceal anything and lie, the blessing on their transaction will be blotted out. Abu Dawud said: A similar tradition has also been transmitted by Sa'id b. Abi 'Arubah and Hammad. As regards with Hammam, he said in his version: Until they separate or exercise the right of option (to annul the transaction), saying the words of option three times.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ الْبَيِّعَانِ بِالْخِيَارِ مَا لَمْ يَفْتَرِقَا فَإِنْ صَدَقَا وَبَيَّنَا بُورِكَ لَهُمَا فِي بَيْعِهِمَا وَإِنْ كَتَمَا وَكَذَبَا مُحِقَتِ الْبَرَكَةُ مِنْ بَيْعِهِمَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَكَذَلِكَ رَوَاهُ سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ وَحَمَّادٌ وَأَمَّا هَمَّامٌ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ حَتَّى يَتَفَرَّقَا أَوْ يَخْتَارَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثَلاَثَ مِرَارٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of honesty and transparency when conducting business transactions. Both parties involved in a transaction have the right to annul it until they separate. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that if both parties tell the truth and make everything clear in their transaction, then they will be blessed for it. However, if either party conceals anything or lies about it then this blessing will be taken away from them. It is important to remember that honesty is essential when conducting any kind of business transaction as it ensures fairness for all involved parties and creates trust between them.
