Sunan Ibn Majah 2184 (Book 12, Hadith 48) #31536
Blessing in Return for Good Transaction

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) bought a load of fodder from a Bedouin man and upon completion of the transaction, he gave the Bedouin the option to cancel it. The Bedouin responded with a blessing for the Prophet.

It was narrated that Jabir bin' Abdullah said: "The Messenger of Allah bought a load of fodder from a Bedouin man. When the transaction was concluded, the Messenger of Allah said: 'Choose (either to go ahead or to cancel the transaction)'. The Bedouin said: 'May Allah grant you a long life of good transaction!"'
حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ عِيسَى الْمِصْرِيَّانِ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ اشْتَرَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ مِنْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الأَعْرَابِ حِمْلَ خَبَطٍ فَلَمَّا وَجَبَ الْبَيْعُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ اخْتَرْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ الأَعْرَابِيُّ عَمْرَكَ اللَّهَ بَيِّعًا
