Musnad Abi Ya'la 6271

Translation

✧ Do not go out to meet the caravans for trade, and do not tie the udders of camels and sheep. Whoever buys them after that has the better of the two options: if he wishes, he may keep them, or if he wishes, he may return them with a saa' of dates, not wheat.

• عبد الله بن مسلمة القعنبي

  ذكر القعنبي من سماع أشهب عن مالك أنه سئل عن قول رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من ابتاع مصراة فهو بخير النظرين بعد أن يحلبها إن شاء أمسكها وإن شاء ردها وصاعا من تمر وقال سمعت ذلك وليس بالثابت ولا الموطإ عليه وإن لم يكن ذلك أنه له اللبن بما أعلف وضمن قيل له نراك تضعف الحديث قال كل شيء يوضع موضعه وليس بالموطأ ولا الثابت وقد سمعته

  machine translationAl-Qaʿnabī mentioned, from Ashhab's hearing from Mālik, that he was asked about the saying of the Messenger of God ﷺ: "Whoever buys a muṣarrāh [an animal whose milk was held back] has the better of the two options after he milks it: if he wishes he keeps it, and if he wishes he returns it along with a ṣāʿ of dates." He said: "I heard that, but it is not established, and the Muwaṭṭaʾ is not based on it. If that were not so, the milk would belong to him in return for the fodder he provided, and he would bear responsibility." It was said to him: "We see that you consider the hadith weak." He said: "Everything is put in its proper place. It is not in the Muwaṭṭaʾ and it is not established, though I did hear it." Report a problem

  هذه رواية الله أعلم بصحتها عن مالك وما رواها عنه إلا ثقة ولكنه عند اختلاف من رواية الحديث عند أهل العلم بالحديث صحيح ثابت
