SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) advised a bedouin to go to the market and sell his milch animal, and then consult him afterwards.

Narrated Salim al-Makki: That a bedouin told him that he brought a milch she-camel in the time of the Messenger of Allah . He alighted with Talhah ibn Ubaydullah (and wanted to sell his milch animal to him). He said: The Prophet forbade a townsman to sell for a man from the desert. But go to the market and see who buys from you. consult me thereafter, and then I shall ask you (to sell) or forbid you.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ الْمَكِّيِّ، أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ، قَدِمَ بِحَلُوبَةٍ لَهُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَنَزَلَ عَلَى طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ نَهَى أَنْ يَبِيعَ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ وَلَكِنِ اذْهَبْ إِلَى السُّوقِ فَانْظُرْ مَنْ يُبَايِعُكَ فَشَاوِرْنِي حَتَّى آمُرَكَ أَوْ أَنْهَاكَ

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, narrated by Salim al-Makki, it is mentioned that a bedouin wanted to sell his milch animal to Talhah ibn Ubaydullah. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised him not to sell it directly but rather go to the market and see who buys from him. He was also asked to consult with the Prophet after he had done so. This hadith teaches us that we should always seek advice from those who are knowledgeable before making any decisions or taking any actions. It also teaches us about being fair in our dealings with people, as townsmen were not allowed to buy from desert dwellers at higher prices than what they would get in the market. Furthermore, it encourages us to seek consultation when making important decisions or taking actions which may have an impact on our lives or those of others around us.
