Jami at-Tirmidhi 1291 (Book 14, Hadith 93) #26866
The Prohibition of Selling Food Before Taking Possession

SUMMARY: It is not permissible to sell food before taking possession of it.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: That the Prophet said: "Whoever buys food, then he is not to sell it until he takes possession of it". Ibn 'Abbas said: "All things are considered the same (in this regard)". He said: There are narrations on this topic from Jabir, Ibn 'Umar, and Abu Hurairah. Abu 'Eisa said: The Hadith of Ibn 'Abbas is a Hasan Sahih Hadith.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنِ ابْتَاعَ طَعَامًا فَلاَ يَبِعْهُ حَتَّى يَسْتَوْفِيَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَأَحْسِبُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ مِثْلَهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ وَابْنِ عُمَرَ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ كَرِهُوا بَيْعَ الطَّعَامِ حَتَّى يَقْبِضَهُ الْمُشْتَرِي ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رَخَّصَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ فِيمَنِ ابْتَاعَ شَيْئًا مِمَّا لاَ يُكَالُ وَلاَ يُوزَنُ مِمَّا لاَ يُؤْكَلُ وَلاَ يُشْرَبُ أَنْ يَبِيعَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْتَوْفِيَهُ ‏.‏ وَإِنَّمَا التَّشْدِيدُ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ فِي الطَّعَامِ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ أَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ

Buy items only after taking possession of them first .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that it is prohibited to sell food before taking possession of it. This means that one should not buy something with the intention to resell it without actually having the item in their possession first. This prohibition applies to all types of items and goods, not just food. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught this lesson through his companions such as Ibn 'Abbas, Jabir, Ibn 'Umar and Abu Hurairah who narrated this hadith from him. We can learn from this hadith that we should be honest in our dealings with others and ensure that we are only selling what we have in our possession first before making any transactions or agreements with others.
