أَخْبَرَنَا شَبَابَةُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ الْمَدَائِنِيُّ، ثَنَا هِشَامٌ - وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْغَازِ - عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ، قَالَ:
إِنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ ؓ ابْتَاعَ حَائِطًا مِنْ رَجُلٍ، فَسَاوَمَهُ حَتَّى قَامَ عَلَى الثَّمَنِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَعْطِنِي يَدَكَ، قَالَ: وَكَانُوا لَا يَسْتَوْجِبُونَ إِلَّا بِصَفْقَةٍ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ الْبَائِعُ، قَالَ: لَا وَاللهِ، لَا أَبِيعُهُ حَتَّى تَزِيدَنِي عَشَرَةَ آلَافٍ. فَالْتَفَتَ عُثْمَانُ إِلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ ؓ فَقَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى يُدْخِلُ الْجَنَّةَ رَجُلًا كَانَ سَمْحًا بَائِعًا، وَمُبْتَاعًا، وَقَاضِيًا، وَمُقْتَضِيًا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: دُونَكَ الْعَشَرَةُ آلَافٍ لِأَسْتَوْجِبَ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةَ الَّتِي سَمِعْتُهَا مِنَ النَّبِيِّ

✧ Uthman b. Affan ؓ bought a garden from a man, and he bargained with him until the price was settled. Then he said: Give me your hand. He said: They would not conclude a sale except by a hand-clasp. When the seller saw that, he said: No, by God, I will not sell it until you increase me ten thousand. Uthman turned to Abd al-Rahman b. Awf ؓ and said: I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: God, Exalted, will admit into Paradise a man who is easy-going when selling, buying, judging, and collecting. Then he said: Take the ten thousand so that I may deserve this word which I heard from the Prophet.
