حديث عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: مَنِ اشْتَرَى شَاةً مُحَفَّلَةً فَرَدَّهَا فَلْيَرُدَّ مَعَهَا صَاعًا؛ وَنَهى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ تُلَقَّى الْبُيُوعُ.
'Abdullah bin Mas'ud Narrated from:
Whoever buys a sheep which has not been milked for a long time, has the option of returning it along with one Sa' of dates; and the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم forbade going to meet the seller on the way (as he has no knowledge of the market price and he may sell his goods at a low price). ( Sahih Al-Bukhari, Hadith No. 359, Vol. 3)
