Sahih Muslim Book 10, Hadith Number 3620.

Chapter : It is forbidden that one should enter into a transaction on which one’s brother has already been negotiating, or one should purchase (in opposition) to one’s brother, or one should cheat and retain milk in the under (in order to deceive the purchaser).

Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Do not go out to meet riders to enter into transaction with them; none of you must buy in opposition to another, nor must you bid against one another; a townsman must not sell for a man from the desert, and do not tie up udders of camels and sheep, and he who buys them after that has been done has two courses open to him: after he has milked them he may keep them if he is pleased with them, or he may return them along with a sit of dates if he is displeased with them.
