“إذا باع أحدكم الشاة أو اللقحة فلا يحفلها”
(ن) عن أبي هريرة.
409 – It is reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“If any of you sells a sheep or a milk camel, let it not fill (its udder) (i.e. milk it out) [1] .”
This hadith was narrated by al-Nasai 7/252.
Sheikh al-Albani called the hadith authentic. See Sahih al-jami ‘as-saghir 409.

[1] – That is, let it not collect milk in her udder in order to mislead the buyer. See Sharh Sunan al-Nasai al-Atyubi 35/162.
