وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، ثَنَا الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، ثَنَا سَالِمٌ الْخَيَّاطُ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ - ؓ

أَنَّهُ سَاوَمَ رَجُلًا بِأَرْضٍ حَتَّى وَجَبَ الْبَيْعُ، أَوْ كَادَ أَنْ يَجِبَ، فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: وَاللهِ لَا أُعْطِيكَ حَتَّى تَزِيدَنِي عَشَرَةَ آلَافٍ. فَالْتَفَتَ عُثْمَانُ ؓ إِلَى رَجُلٍ، فَقَالَ: أَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: رَحِمَ اللهُ رَجُلًا سَمْحَ التَّقَاضِي، سَمْحَ الِاقْتِضَاءِ ؟ قَالُوا: نَعَمْ. فَزَادَهُ عَشَرَةَ آلَافٍ، وَأَخَذَ الْأَرْضَ

✧ He bargained with a man over some land until the sale was concluded, or nearly concluded. The man said: By God, I will not give it to you until you increase me ten thousand. Uthman ؓ turned to a man and said: Do you know that the Messenger of God ﷺ said: May God have mercy on a man who is easy-going in collecting, easy-going in demanding? They said: Yes. So he increased him ten thousand and took the land.
