I paid the shopkeeper the price, and he brought some of the goods from other shops. Is this selling what one does not own?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I went to a grocery store that sells in bulk. I recorded my orders on an invoice and paid him the amount. Then he brought what I had recorded from his store, and some of it from his neighbors in other shops. Does his action fall under selling what one does not own?
Answer:
Yes. If he recorded it and took the price from you, and he did not have the goods or some of them, this is selling what one does not own. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade it, saying: Do not sell what is not with you. Yes.
