The Value of Not Competing with Your Brother

SUMMARY: Do not compete with your brother in haggling or selling.

Narrated Ibn 'Umar: That the Messenger of Allah said: "None of you is to sell over the sale of others, nor to propose over the proposal of others". He said: There are narration on this topic from Abu Hurairah and Samurah. Abu 'Eisa said: The Hadith of Ibn 'Umar is a Hasan Sahih Hadith. And it has been reported from the Prophet that he said: "Do not haggle in competition with your brother's haggling". And the meaning of sale in this Hadith of the Prophet , according to some of the people of knowledge is to haggle.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ يَبِيعُ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَيْعِ بَعْضٍ وَلاَ يَخْطُبُ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ بَعْضٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَسَمُرَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عُمَرَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ يَسُومُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى سَوْمِ أَخِيهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَمَعْنَى الْبَيْعِ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ عِنْدَ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ هُوَ السَّوْمُ
