Fair Dealing (Hadith No. 1788)

Bismillah.
Volume 3, Book 34, Number 293:
Narrated Hakim bin Hizam (radiallaahu `anhu):
Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) said, "The seller and the buyer have the right to keep or return goods as long as they have not parted or till they part; and if both the parties spoke the truth and described the defects and qualities (of the goods), then they would be blessed in their transaction, and if they told lies or hid something, then the blessings of their transaction would be lost."
The seller must disclose any faults in the item which may make it less desirable and reduce its price. There is abundant shar’i evidence to this effect. It was narrated that Wahb ibn ‘Aamir (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “The Muslim is the brother of (another) Muslim. It is not permissible for a Muslim to sell something to his brother in which there is a fault without disclosing it to him.” Narrated by Ahmad and Abu Dawood; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Irwa’ al-Ghaleel (1321). 
And it was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah have mercy on him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) passed by a man who was selling some foodstuff. He put his hand in it and found that it was wet. He said: “Whoever deceives us is not one of us.” Narrated by Muslim (101).
I know for a fact that very little people do this. If someone's out to sell his product, he'd like to hide the defects knowingly in order to get a bigger price than its worth. Only a believer would do this because he knows that these few extra bucks won't do him much good if he lost Allah's pleasure because of his unfair dealing.
Jannah is your real business. Strive to crack that deal. ;)

Taking Back Charity (Ahadith 1225 - 1226)


Bismillah.
Volume 2, Book 24, Number 566:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar (radiallaahu `anhu):
Umar bin Al-Khattab (radiallaahu `anhu) gave a horse in charity in Allah's Cause and later he saw it being sold in the market and intended to purchase it. Then he went to the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) and asked his permission. The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) said, "Do not take back what you have given in charity." For this reason, Ibn 'Umar (radiallaahu `anhu) never purchased the things which he had given in charity, and in case he had purchased something (unknowingly) he would give it in charity again.
Volume 2, Book 24, Number 567:
Narrated 'Umar (radiallaahu `anhu):
Once I gave a horse in Allah's Cause (in charity) but that person did not take care of it. I intended to buy it, as I thought he would sell it at a low price. So, I asked the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) about it. He said, "Neither buy, nor take back your alms which you have given, even if the seller were willing to sell it for one Dirham, for he who takes back his alms is like the one who swallows his own vomit."
The prohibition on buying back one's charity is because it is given for the sake of Allaah, so one should not have any attachment to it. Buying it back implies that one is still attached to it. This prohibition also exists so that the vendor will not try to do the giver a favor  which would result in him benefiting from his charity.
Can we take back charity before the recipient takes possession of it? Answer here.
