أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ الْبُرْسَانِيُّ، أَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ، عَنْ مَطَرٍ الْوَرَّاقِ، قَالَ:

إِنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ ؓ قَدِمَ حَاجًّا، فَلَمَّا قَضَى حَجَّهُ قَدِمَ إِلَى أَرْضٍ بِالطَّائِفِ، فَإِذَا أَرْضٌ إِلَى جَنْبِ أَرْضِهِ فَطَلَبَهَا، فَكَانَ بَيْنَهُمَا عَشَرَةُ آلَافٍ فِي الثَّمَنِ. فَلَمَّا وَضَعَ عُثْمَانُ ؓ رِجْلَهُ فِي الرِّكَابِ، قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ: أَسَمِعْتَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ: رَحِمَ اللهُ عَبْدًا سَمْحَ الْبَيْعِ، سَمْحَ الِابْتِيَاعِ، سَمْحَ الْقَضَاءِ، سَمْحَ التَّقَاضِي ؟ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: نَعَمْ. فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ ؓ: رُدَّا عَلَيَّ الرَّجُلَ، فَأَعْطَاهُ الْعَشَرَةَ آلَافٍ وَأَخَذَ الْأَرْضَ

✧ Uthman b. Affan ؓ came as a pilgrim, and when he finished his hajj, he came to some land at al-Ta'if, and there was a piece of land adjacent to his land which he sought to buy. The difference between them in price was ten thousand. When Uthman ؓ placed his foot in the stirrup, he said to a man among the companions of the Prophet ﷺ: Did you hear the Prophet ﷺ say: May God have mercy on a servant who is easy-going in selling, easy-going in buying, easy-going in settling, easy-going in collecting? The man said: Yes. So Uthman ؓ said: Bring the man back to me. Then he gave him the ten thousand and took the land.
