86 Malik related to me from Musa (upon him be peace) ibn Maysara that he heard a man
ask Said ibn al-Musayyab, "I am a man who sells for a debt." Said
said, "Do not sell except for what you take to your camel."
Malik spoke about a person who bought goods from a man provided that
he provide him with those goods by a specific date, either in time for
a market in which he hoped for their saleability, or to fulfil a need
at the time he stipulated. Then the seller failed him about the date,
and the buyer wanted to return those goods to the seller. Malik said,
"The buyer cannot do that, and the sale is binding on him. If the
seller does bring the goods before the completion of the term, the
buyer cannot be forced to take them."
Malik spoke about a
person who bought food and measured it. Then some one came to him to
buy it and he told him that he had measured it for himself and taken
it in full. The new buyer wanted to trust him and accept his measure.
Malik said, "Whatever is sold in this way for cash has no harm in it
but whatever is sold in this way on delayed terms is disapproved of
until the new buyer measures it out for himself. The sale with delayed
terms is disapproved of because it leads to usury and it is feared
that it will be circulated in this way without weight or measure. If
the terms are delayed it is disapproved of and there is no
disagreement about that with us."
Malik said, "One should not
buy a debt owed by a man whether present or absent, without the
confirmation of the one who owes the debt, nor should one buy a debt
owed to a man by a dead person even if one knows what the deceased man
has left. That is because to buy that is an uncertain transaction and
one does not know whether the transaction will be completed or not
completed."
He said, "The explanation of what is disapproved
of in buying a debt owed by someone absent or dead, is that it is not
known what unknown debtor may be connected to the dead person. If the
dead person is liable for another debt, the price which the buyer gave
on strength of the debt may become worthless."
Malik said,
"There is another fault in that as well. He is buying something which
is not guaranteed for him, and so if the deal is not completed, what
he paid becomes worthless. This is an uncertain transaction and it is
not good."
Malik said, "One distinguishes between a man who
is only selling what he actually has and a man who is being paid in
advance for something which is not yet in his possession. The man
advancing the money brings his gold which he intends to buy with. The
seller says, 'This is 10 dinars. What do you want me to buy for you
with it?' It is as if he sold 10 dinars cash for 15 dinars to be paid
later. Because of this, it is disapproved of. It is something leading
to usury and fraud."

موسی بن میسرہ نے سنا ایک شخص پوچھ رہا تھا سعید بن مسیب سے میں قرض کے بدل میں بیچا کرتا ہوں سعید نے کہا تو نہ بیچ مگر اس چیز کو جو تیرے پاس ہو ۔ کہا مالک نے جو شخص کوئی چیز خرید کرے اس شرط پر کہ بائع (بچنے والا) وہ شئے مشتری (خریدنے والا) کو اتنی مدت میں سپرد کردے اس میں مشتری (خریدنے والا) نے کوئی مصلحت رکھی ہو مثلا اس وقت بازار میں اس مال کی نکاسی کی امید ہو یا اور کچھ غرض ہو پھر بائع (بچنے والا) اس وعدے میں خلاف کر اور مشتری (خریدنے والا) چاہے کہ وہ شئے بائع (بچنے والا) کو پھیر دے تو مشتری (خریدنے والا) کو یہ حق نہیں پہنچتا اور بیع لازم رہے گی اگر بائع (بچنے والا) اس شئے کو قبل میعاد کے لئے آیا تو مشتری (خریدنے والا) پر جبر نہ کیا جائے گا اس کے لینے پر۔ کہا مالک نے جو شخص اناج خرید کر اس کو تول لے پھر ایک خریدار آئے جو مشتری (خریدنے والا) سے اس اناج کو خرید کرنا چاہے مشتری (خریدنے والا) اس سے کہے کہ میں اناج تول چکا ہوں اور وہ شخص مشتری (خریدنے والا) کو سچا سمجھ کر اس غلے کو نقد مول لے لے تو کچھ قباحت نہیں مگر وعدے پر لینا مکروہ ہے جب تک وہ خریدار دوبارہ اس کو تول نہ لے۔ کہا مالک نے دین کا خریدنا درست نہیں خواہ غائب پر ہو یا حاضر پر مگر جب شخص حاضر اس کا اقرار کرے اسی طرح جو دین میت پر ہو اس کا بھی خریدنا درست نہیں کیونکہ اس میں دھوکا ہے معلوم نہیں وہ قرض ملتا ہے یا نہیں اس واسطے اگر میت یا غائب پر اور بھی دین نکلا تو اس کے پیسے مفت گئے دوسرے یہ کہ وہ قرض اس کی ضمان میں داخل نہیں ہو اگر نہ پنٹا تو اس کے پیسے مفت گئے۔ کہا مالک نے بیع سلف(قرض) میں اور بیع عینہ میں یہ فرق ہے کہ بیع عینہ والا دس دینار نقد دے کر پندرہ دینار وعدے پر لیتا ہے تو یہ صریح دھوکا ہے اور بالکل فریب ہے۔
