Hadith on Rulings: 'When You Buy Something, Say: there Should Be No Intention Of Cheating, And For Every Product You Buy, You Have The Choice For Three Nights

Sunan Ibn Majah 2355 (Book 13, Hadith 48) #31707

Trade with Integrity

SUMMARY: This hadith is about a man who was cheated in his trades and went to the Prophet for advice. The Prophet advised him to make sure that there is no intention of cheating when buying something, and to have the choice for three nights before deciding whether or not to keep it.

It was narrated that Muhammad bin Yahya bin Habban said: "My grandfather was Munqidh bin 'Amr. He was a man who had suffered a head wound and lost the power of speech, but that did not stop him from engaging in trade. He was always being cheated, so he went to the Prophet ﷺ and told him about that. He said to him: 'When you buy something, say: "There should be no intention of cheating," and for every product you buy, you have the choice for three nights. If you are pleased with it, keep it, and if you are displeased then return it'."

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانٍ، قَالَ هُوَ جَدِّي مُنْقِذُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو وَكَانَ رَجُلاً قَدْ أَصَابَتْهُ آمَّةٌ فِي رَأْسِهِ فَكَسَرَتْ لِسَانَهُ وَكَانَ لاَ يَدَعُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ التِّجَارَةَ وَكَانَ لاَ يَزَالُ يُغْبَنُ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ ‏ "‏ إِذَا أَنْتَ بَايَعْتَ فَقُلْ لاَ خِلاَبَةَ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ أَنْتَ فِي كُلِّ سِلْعَةٍ ابْتَعْتَهَا بِالْخِيَارِ ثَلاَثَ لَيَالٍ فَإِنْ رَضِيتَ فَأَمْسِكْ وَإِنْ سَخِطْتَ فَارْدُدْهَا عَلَى صَاحِبِهَا
