al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 2187

Translation

✧ and he was one of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ. And 'Ali b. Hamshadh al-'Adl narrated to us, Isma'il b. Ishaq al-Qadi and al-Hasan b. 'Ali b. Ziyad narrated to us, they said: Isma'il b. Abi Uways narrated to us, my brother Abu Bakr narrated to us, from Sulayman b. Bilal, from Muhammad b. Abi 'Atiq, from Ibn Shihab, from 'Umara b. Khuzayma, that his uncle informed him—and he was one of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ—that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ bought a horse from a man among the Bedouins. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him to follow him so that he could pay him the price of his horse. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ walked quickly, and the Bedouin was slow. Some men began to intercept the Bedouin and bargain with him over the horse, not knowing that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had already bought it, until some of them raised the price for the Bedouin. When they raised it, the Bedouin called out, 'O Messenger of Allah, if you are buying this horse, then buy it; otherwise, I will sell it.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up when he heard the Bedouin's call and came to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Did I not already buy it from you?' He said, 'No, by Allah, I did not sell it to you.' He said, 'Indeed, I bought it from you.' The people began to gather around the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Bedouin as they argued back and forth. The Bedouin began to say, 'Bring a witness that I sold it to you.' Khuzayma said, 'I bear witness that you sold it to him.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned to Khuzayma and said, 'On what basis do you testify?' He said, 'Because I believe you.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made Khuzayma's testimony equal to the testimony of two men.
