Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ السَّمَّاكِ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا تَشْتَرُوا السَّمَكَ فِي الْمَاءِ فَإِنَّهُ غَرَرٌ.

Muhammad ibn al-Sammak told us, from Yazid ibn Abi Ziyad, from al-Musayyab ibn Rafi’, from Abdullah ibn Mas’ud, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Do not buy fish while still in the water, for that is deceptive uncertainty."
