Jami' at-Tirmidhi 1233

Translation

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited me from selling what was not with me."

Notes

• [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan. He said: There is something on this topic from 'Abdullah bin 'Umar. Ishaq bin Mansur said: "I said to Ahmad: 'What is the meaning of the prohibition from a loan along with a sale? He said: 'That he gives him a loan and then he makes a sale to him greater then it's actual worth. And, it carries the meaning of him loaning it to him in exchange for something (as collateral), so he says: 'If you are unable to pay it (the loan), the it (the collateral) will be a sale for you.' Ishaq [bin Rahuwyah] said as he said. And I said to Ahmad: 'What about selling what one does not possess?' He said: 'To me it does not apply except in cases of food - meaning one has not taken possession of it.' And Ishaq said the same for all of what is measured or weighed. Ahmad said: 'When he says: "I will sell you this garment, with the condition that I am the tailor for it, and I am the one who bleaches it.' This is an example of two conditions in one sale. But if he says: "I am selling it to you with the condition that I am its tailor," then there is no harm in it. And, if he said: "I am selling it to you with the condition that I am the one who bleaches it" then there is no harm in it, because this is only one condition.' And Ishaq said as he said."

  يشبه أن يكون صحيحا لتصريحه بذكر عبد الله بن عمرو ويكون مذهبه في الامتناع بحديث عمرو بن شعيب إنما هو الشك في إسناده لجواز أن يكون الضمير عائدا على محمد بن عبد الله بن عمرو فإذا صح بذكر عبد الله بن عمرو انتفى ذلك
