حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو حُصَيْنٍ عَنْ شَيْخٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ مَعَهُ بِدِينَارٍ يَشْتَرِي لَهُ أُضْحِيَةً فَاشْتَرَاهَا بِدِينَارٍ وَبَاعَهَا بِدِينَارَيْنِ فَرَجَعَ فَاشْتَرَى لَهُ أُضْحِيَةً بِدِينَارٍ وَجَاءَ بِدِينَارٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَتَصَدَّقَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَدَعَا لَهُ أَنْ يُبَارَكَ لَهُ فِي تِجَارَتِهِ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent with him a dinar to buy a sacrificial animal for him. He bought a sheep for a dinar, sold it for two and then returned and bought a sacrificial animal for a dinar for him and brought the (extra) dinar to the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ gave it as alms (sadaqah) and invoked blessing on him in his trading.

- Abū Bakr Aḥmad b. al-Ḥusayn al-Bayhaqī
ضعف هذا الحديث لأن فيه شيخ غير مسمى ولا نعرفه

وذكر الخطابي أن الخبرين معا غير متصلين لأن في أحدهما وهو خبر حكيم بن حزام رجلا مجهولا لا يدرى من هو وفي خبر عروة أن الحي حدثوه وما كان هذا سبيله من الرواية لم تقم به الحجة
machine translationAl-Khaṭṭābī mentioned that both reports are not connected, because in one of them, the report of Ḥakīm b. Ḥizām, there is an unknown man whose identity is not known, and in the report of ʿUrwah, the tribe narrated it to him. What is of this kind of transmission does not establish proof.
