Jami at-Tirmidhi 1218 (Book 14, Hadith 17) #26790
Encouraging Bidding in Sales

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ sold a saddle blanket and a drinking bowl, and encouraged people to bid more than the initial offer.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: That the Messenger of Allah sold a saddle blanket and a drinking bowl. He said: "Who will buy saddle blanket and drinking bowl ?". So a man said: "I will take them for a Dirham". So the Prophet said: "Who will give more than a Dirham ? Who will give more that a Dirham ?" A man agreed to give him two Dirham, so he sold them to him. Abu 'Eisa said: This Hadith is Hasan. We do not know of it except from the narration of Al-Akhdar bin 'Ajlan, and 'Abdullah Al-Hanafi who is reporting from Anas, is Abu Bakr Al-Hanafi. This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge, they did not see any harm in auctioning the spoils of war and inheritance. Al-Mu'tamir bin Sulaiman and others among the people of Hadith reported from Al-Akhdar bin 'Ajlan.
حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ شُمَيْطِ بْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَخْضَرُ بْنُ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحَنَفِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بَاعَ حِلْسًا وَقَدَحًا وَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَنْ يَشْتَرِي هَذَا الْحِلْسَ وَالْقَدَحَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَخَذْتُهُمَا بِدِرْهَمٍ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ مَنْ يَزِيدُ عَلَى دِرْهَمٍ مَنْ يَزِيدُ عَلَى دِرْهَمٍ ‏"‏ فَأَعْطَاهُ رَجُلٌ دِرْهَمَيْنِ فَبَاعَهُمَا مِنْهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ الأَخْضَرِ بْنِ عَجْلاَنَ ‏.‏ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ الْحَنَفِيُّ الَّذِي رَوَى عَنْ أَنَسٍ هُوَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ ‏.‏ وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ لَمْ يَرَوْا بَأْسًا بِبَيْعِ مَنْ يَزِيدُ فِي الْغَنَائِمِ وَالْمَوَارِيثِ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رَوَى الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْحَدِيثِ عَنِ الأَخْضَرِ بْنِ عَجْلاَنَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet's encouragement for people to bid more than the initial offer when selling something. He sold a saddle blanket and a drinking bowl for one dirham initially but then someone offered two dirhams for it so he accepted that offer instead. This teaches us that we should always strive to get the best deal possible when buying or selling something. We should not be content with just settling for what is offered first as there may be better deals available if we look around or ask others. It also shows us that it is important to be generous when making offers as this can help benefit both parties involved in any transaction. Furthermore, this hadith also highlights the importance of auctioning spoils of war and inheritance which was practiced by some people at that time according to Islamic law.
