Chapter 327: About the Forbiddance of a Townsmanselling on behalf of a Nomad

Translation: 34 Another foolish practice of the pre-Islam era practices was that the woman whose husband has died was to be detained in the house in her dirtiest clothes for a full year. Then, she was to wait until a dog passes by her. She was not allowed to come out from the house before throwing dung at that dog.

1026. Narrated Ibn Mas'oud; ' The Prophet forbade receiving the sellers outside the marketplace. ”

Translation: 1027. Narrated Abu-Huraira; " The Prophet forbade receiving the sellers outside the marketplace. If a man received them (outside the marketplace) and bought the commodity, the seller has the free choice either to accomplish or abrogate the transaction. " (At-Termizi).

Translation: Abu-Issa said; " This Hadith is Hasan Saheeh and some people of knowledge disliked receiving the sellers outside the marketplace because it comprises fraud. '

Translation: 1028. Narrated Abu-Huraira and Qotaybah, directly from the Prophet; The Prophet said: “ An urbanite should not sell on behalf of a nomad. " (At-Termizi).

Translation: (Abridged)

Translation: 1029. Narrated Jaber; " The Messenger of Allah said: " An urbanite should not sell on behalf of a nomad. Leave the people be sustained from each other by Allah. " (At-Termizi).

Translation: Abu-Issa said; ' Both the Hadith of Abu-Huraira and Jaber are Hasan Saheeh and some people of knowledge of the Prophet's companions act on them. They disliked that an urbanite sells on behalf of a desert-dweller. Some others see that an urbanite would buy on behalf of a desert-dweller. "

Translation: 1030. Narrated Abu-Huraira; ' The Messenger of Allah said: " A man should not sell what his brother had sold, and he should not offer to have in marriage a woman whose brother had offered to get her in marriage. " (At-Termizi).

Translation: Abu-Issa said; " The Hadith of Abu-Huraira is Hasan Saheeh. Malek ibn Anas said that the meaning of this Hadith is that if a man has offered to have a woman in marriage and she approved him, no one is entitled to ask her hand. Al- Shafe'e said the same and added; ' A person is permitted to make an offer of marriage as long as he did not come to know whether she approved resolutely the betrothal of the first. He based his opinion on the Hadith narrated concerning Fatimah bint Qays when she came to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned to him that Abu-Jahm ibn Hozayfa and Mu'aweya ibn Abu- Sofyan have made an offer of marriage to her. He said: " As for Abu-Jahm, he is a man who does not withhold his staff from the women, and as for Mu'aweya, he has no wealth, but marry Usamah. " The meaning of this Hadith is that Fatimah did not tell him her approval for any one of them. Had she told him her approval of one of them (Abu-Jahm ibn Hozayfa and Mu'aweya ibn Abu-Sofyan), he would not have suggested Usamah to her. "
