Sunan an-Nasai 3243 (Book 26, Hadith 48) #17855
Prohibiting Unethical Competition

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad forbade offering more for something that has already been bought by someone else, or proposing marriage to a woman when someone else has already proposed to her, unless the previous suitor gave up the idea or gave permission.

'Abdullah bin 'Amr used to say: "The Messenger of Allah forbade offering more for something that has already been bought by his brother, or for a man to propose marriage to a woman when someone else has already proposed to her, unless the previous suitor gave up the idea or gave him permission".
أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ سَمِعْتُ نَافِعًا، يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، كَانَ يَقُولُ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَبِيعَ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَيْعِ بَعْضٍ وَلاَ يَخْطُبُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ الرَّجُلِ حَتَّى يَتْرُكَ الْخَاطِبُ قَبْلَهُ أَوْ يَأْذَنَ لَهُ الْخَاطِبُ

QUICK LESSONS:
Respect others and be mindful of your actions so as not to cause any harm or distress.

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad taught us that it is not ethical to compete with others in buying something that has already been bought by another person, or in proposing marriage to a woman when someone else has already proposed. This is because it can be hurtful and disrespectful towards the other person who was first involved in either of these activities. We should only do so if we have permission from the previous suitor or if they have given up on their idea. This hadith teaches us about respecting others and being mindful of our actions so as not to cause any harm or distress.
