Muwatta Malik #1445
Business Transactions
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
قَالَ مَالِكٌ عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنِ النَّجْشِ .
Malik said, from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umar that the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, forbade najsh.
Malik said, "Najsh is to offer a man more than the worth of his
goods when you do not mean to buy them and someone else follows you in
bidding."
