باب 14

(14) باب النَّهْىِ عَنِ الْمُصَرَّاةِ، وَهُوَ أَنْ يَرْبِطَ، أَخْلاَفَ النَّاقَةِ أَوِ الشَّاةِ وَتُتْرَكُ مِنَ الْحَلْبِ يَوْمَيْنِ وَالثَّلاَثَةَ حَتَّى يَجْتَمِعَ لَهَا لَبَنٌ فَيَزِيدَ مُشْتَرِيهَا فِي قِيمَتِهَا لِمَا يَرَى مِنْ كَثْرَةِ لَبَنِهَا .

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي دَاوُدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " مَنِ اشْتَرَى مُصَرَّاةً فَإِنْ رَضِيَهَا إِذَا حَلَبَهَا فَلْيُمْسِكْهَا وَإِنْ كَرِهَهَا فَلْيَرُدَّهَا وَمَعَهَا صَاعٌ مِنْ تَمْرٍ " .

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah said:
"whoever buys a Musarraha, if he is please with it when he milks it, he may keep it, and if he is not please with it, he may return it, along with a Sa of daters"' (Sahih )
