Offering a better and cheaper item to someone who has agreed to buy an item

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man says: I wanted to buy a commodity from another man, so another man came to him and said, "I have a better commodity than that one, and at a lower price." What is the ruling on this action?

Answer:
This is forbidden. If you see a man who has reached an agreement with his brother to buy an item, do not say to him, "Wait, I have something better." Let people be; Allah provides for some of them from others. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
do not urge someone to cancel a sale he has already agreed uponولا يبع بعضكم على بيع بعض
Sunan an-Nasa'i 4496
. This is not permissible. Yes.
