Sunan Abi Dawud 3437 (Book 24, Hadith 22) #23727
Avoiding Competition in Shopping

SUMMARY: Do not compete with each other when buying something from the market.

Abu Hurairah said: Do not go our to meet what is being brought (to market for sale). If anyone does so and buys some of it, the owner of merchandise has a choice (of canceling the deal) when it comes to the market. Abu 'Ali said: I heard Abu Dawud say: Sufyan said: none of you must buy in opposition to one another ; that is he says: I have a better one for ten (Dirhams).
حَدَّثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ أَبُو تَوْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَمْرٍو الرَّقِّيَّ - عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ نَهَى عَنْ تَلَقِّي الْجَلَبِ فَإِنْ تَلَقَّاهُ مُتَلَقٍّ مُشْتَرٍ فَاشْتَرَاهُ فَصَاحِبُ السِّلْعَةِ بِالْخِيَارِ إِذَا وَرَدَتِ السُّوقَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا دَاوُدَ يَقُولُ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ لاَ يَبِعْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَيْعِ بَعْضٍ أَنْ يَقُولَ إِنَّ عِنْدِي خَيْرًا مِنْهُ بِعَشْرَةٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about avoiding competition when shopping in the market. It is narrated by Abu Hurairah and Abu 'Ali that one should not go out to meet what is being brought to the market for sale. If someone does so and buys some of it, then the owner of merchandise has a choice of canceling the deal when it comes to the market. Furthermore, it was said by Sufyan that none of you must buy in opposition to one another; meaning that no one should say they have a better item for ten dirhams than what is being offered. This hadith teaches us values such as avoiding competition and respecting others’ property rights. We should be mindful of our actions while shopping in order to maintain peace and harmony among ourselves as well as respect others’ possessions.
