this is permissible, and he has the option [to annul] if he was deceived, but if he was not deceived, he has no option. This is because a man mentioned to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he was deceived in sales, so he said: "If you trade, say: 'No deception' (la khilaba)." Agreed upon (30). And in the narration of Muslim: "Whomever you trade with, say: 'No deception'." Thus, whenever he traded, he would say: "No deception." It is possible that he has no option (31), and that this report was specific to Habban; because it was narrated that he lived until the time of Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, and he used to trade with people then dispute with them. Some of the Companions would pass by him, and he would say to the one he was disputing with: "Woe to you! The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) granted him an option of three [days] (32)." This indicates that it was specific to him; because if it were for people in general, he would have said to the one he was disputing with: "The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) granted the option to whoever says: 'No deception'." Some of the companions of al-Shafi'i said: If both of them knew that this expression refers to the three-day option, it is established; if one of them knew but not the other, there are two views. This is because it was narrated that Habban ibn Munqidh ibn Amr was constantly being cheated, so he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and mentioned that to him, and he said to him: "If you trade, say: 'No deception', then you are, in every item you purchase, entitled to an option for three nights; if you are pleased, keep it, and if you are displeased, return it to its owner" (32). What is established regarding one of the Companions is established regarding all people, unless there is evidence for its specification.
