Question:
May Allah reward you. I move on to another questioner. This brother, Ya'qub, says and asks for an explanation of a hadith from Tawus from Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: The Messenger of Allah
Answer:
Yes, this indicates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade intercepting the goods of those coming into the town. It is not permissible for anyone to intercept them and buy what they have with them before they reach the town, or to say to them, "You do not know the town and you do not know the people, so let me handle selling it for you. I will handle selling it for you, and I will be your broker." This is forbidden and not permissible. Rather, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saidSahih Muslim 1522a. The goods are left to be brought to the market, and the owner sells his goods himself, and no one approaches them except one who wants to buy something for himself that does not harm the people, and there is no harm in that. Yes.

(peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not intercept travelers, and a resident should not sell to a Bedouin." I said to Ibn 'Abbas: What does "a resident should not sell to a Bedouin" mean? He said: He should not be a broker for him. Agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim.
صلى الله عليه وسلم لا تلقوا الركبان ولا يبع حاضر لباد قال فقلت لابن عباس ما قوله لا يبيع لا يبع حاضر لباد؟ قال لا يكون له سمسارا متفق عليه.Answer:

leave the people alone, Allah will give them provision from one another.
