Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 12, Hadith 48

It was narrated that Jabir bin’ Abdullah said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) bought a load of fodder from a Bedouin man. When the transaction was concluded, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Choose (either to go ahead or to cancel the transaction).’ The Bedouin said: ‘May Allah grant you a long life of good transaction!”‘

حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ عِيسَى الْمِصْرِيَّانِ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ اشْتَرَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ مِنْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الأَعْرَابِ حِمْلَ خَبَطٍ فَلَمَّا وَجَبَ الْبَيْعُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏
“‏ اخْتَرْ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ الأَعْرَابِيُّ عَمْرَكَ اللَّهَ بَيِّعًا ‏.‏

Da’if (Darussalam)

 
The above hadith is from the Sunan Ibn Majah collection of hadiths. The above hadith is from the Sunan Ibn Majah collection of hadiths. The Sunan Ibn Majah is a monumental work in Islamic literature, being one of the six primary hadith collections accepted by Sunni Muslims. Its author, Ibn Majah, passed away in the year 886 CE after compiling thousands of prophetic traditions. The book’s content is remarkably wide-ranging, offering teachings on fundamental beliefs, detailed instructions for worship, ethical directives, and commentary on community affairs. A distinguishing feature of this collection is its critical reception. While it is held in high regard, it does not quite match the perceived authenticity level of the other five major collections due to the presence of some less reliable reports. Despite this, it maintains its vital role in scholarly research.
