أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ
«لَا تُصَرُّوا الْإِبِلَ وَالْغَنَمَ فَمَنِ ابْتَاعَهَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ بِخَيْرِ النَّظَرَيْنِ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَحْلُبَهَا إِنْ رَضِيَهَا أَمْسَكَهَا وَإِنْ سَخِطَهَا رَدَّهَا وَصَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ»

✧ Do not tie up the udders of camels and sheep. Whoever buys them after that has the choice between two options after he milks them: if he approves of them, he keeps them, and if he dislikes them, he returns them along with a saa' of dates.

In their own words, as Hadith Unlocked records them. They are shown, not summarised into a grade.
- Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr
حديث ثابت صحيح لا يدفعه أحد من أهل العلم بالحديث ومعناه صحيح في أصول السنة
machine translationAn established, authentic (ṣaḥīḥ) hadith, which none of the scholars of hadith rejects, and its meaning is sound according to the fundamentals of the Sunnah.
in صحيح ابن حبان, p. 4975 - 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."
in صحيح ابن حبان, p. 4975 - Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr
هذه رواية الله أعلم بصحتها عن مالك وما رواها عنه إلا ثقة ولكنه عند اختلاف من رواية الحديث عند أهل العلم بالحديث صحيح ثابت
machine translationGod knows best the soundness of this narration from Mālik, and only a trustworthy (thiqah) person narrated it from him. But with the differences among the narrators of the hadith, according to the people of knowledge of hadith, it is sound (ṣaḥīḥ) and established.
