Home Hadith Hadith 35129
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Hakim ibn Hizam
traded in food for people as Umar ibn al-Khattab had ordered him to
do. Hakim re-sold the food before he had taken delivery of it. That
reached Umar ibn al-Khattab and he revoked the sale and said, "Do not
sell food which you have purchased until you take delivery of it."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar
said, "In the time of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, we used to buy food. He sent orders for us to move
our purchases from the place in which we purchased them to another
place before we re-sold them."

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that receipts
were given to people in the time of Marwan ibn al-Hakam for the
produce of the market at al-Jar. People bought and sold the receipts
among themselves before they took delivery of the goods. Zayd Thabit
and one of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, went to Marwan ibn al-Hakam and said,
"Marwan! Do you make usury halal?" He said, "I seek refuge with Allah!
What is that?" He said, "These receipts which people buy and sell
before they take delivery of the goods." Marwan therefore sent a guard
to follow them and to take them from people's hands and return them to
their owners.
