Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 44, Hadith 25

It was narrated from Yahya bin Sa ‘eed who said: “I heard Nafi narrating from Ibn ‘Umar, form the Messenger of Allah ‘the two parties to a transaction both have the choice so long as they have not separated unless they have chosen to conclude the transaction. ” Nafi said: ”When ‘Abdullah bought something he like, he would leave straightaway.”

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ سَعِيدٍ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ نَافِعًا، يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏
“‏ إِنَّ الْمُتَبَايِعَيْنِ بِالْخِيَارِ فِي بَيْعِهِمَا مَا لَمْ يَفْتَرِقَا إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ الْبَيْعُ خِيَارًا ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ نَافِعٌ فَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ إِذَا اشْتَرَى شَيْئًا يُعْجِبُهُ فَارَقَ صَاحِبَهُ ‏.‏

Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 44, Hadith 25

 
The above hadith is from the Sunan an-Nasa’i collection of hadiths. The Sunan an-Nasa’i is a foundational text, compiled by the expert traditionist Ahmad ibn Shu’ayb al-Nasa’i during the 9th century. It is consistently listed as one of the six most vital collections of hadith in Sunni Islamic scholarship. Within its pages are found over 5,700 individual narrations that provide deep insight into the life and rulings of the Prophet Muhammad. The defining characteristic of al-Nasa’i’s work is his application of an exceptionally rigorous and critical methodology for verifying each report. By consciously omitting hadiths he considered weak or fabricated, he produced a volume celebrated for its emphasis on authenticity and its status as a highly reliable source.
