Chapter: It is forbidden to meet the caravans on the way (to buy the goods away from the market)

Whoever buys an animal which has been kept unmilked for a long time, could return it, but has to pay a Sa of dates along with it. And the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade meeting the owners of goods on the way away from the market.
