أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ، ثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، ثَنَا سَالِمٌ أَبُو النَّضْرِ، عَنْ شَيْخٍ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ، قَالَ:
جَلَسَ إِلَيَّ وَأَنَا فِي مَسْجِدِ الْبَصْرَةِ فِي زَمَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ، وَفِي يَدِهِ عَصًا وَصَحِيفَةٌ يَحْمِلُهَا فِي يَدِهِ، فَذَكَرَ حَدِيثًا فِيهِ: دَخَلْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ مَعَ أَبِي وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ شَابٌّ، فِي إِبِلٍ جَلَبْنَاهَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ لِنَبِيعَهَا، قَالَ: وَكَانَ طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ ؓ صَدِيقًا لِأَبِي، فَنَزَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ أَبِي: يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ، اخْرُجْ مَعَنَا، فَبِعْ لَنَا ظَهْرَنَا، فَإِنَّهُ لَا عِلْمَ لَنَا بِهَذِهِ السُّوقِ قَالَ: أَمَّا أَنْ أَبِيعَ لَكَ فَلَا، إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى أَنْ يَبِيعَ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ، وَلَكِنْ أَخْرُجُ مَعَكُمَا إِلَى السُّوقِ، فَإِنْ رَضِيتُ لَكُمَا رَجُلًا مِمَّنْ يُبَايِعُكُمَا أَمَرْتُكُمَا بِبَيْعِهِ. قَالَ: فَخَرَجَ مَعَنَا، فَجَلَسَ فِي نَاحِيَةِ السُّوقِ، وَسَاوَمَنَا الرِّجَالُ بِظَهْرِنَا، حَتَّى إِذَا أَعْطَانَا رَجُلٌ مَا يُرْضِينَا أَتَيْنَاهُ، فَاسْتَأْمَرْنَاهُ فِي بَيْعِهِ، قَالَ: فَبَايِعُوهُ، فَقَدْ رَضِيتُ لَكُمَا وَفَاءَهُ وَصَلَاتَهُ، قَالَ: فَبَايَعْنَاهُ، وَأَخَذْنَا الَّذِي لَنَا

✧ He sat with me while I was in the mosque of Basra in the time of al-Hajjaj b. Yusuf, and in his hand was a staff and a scroll he was carrying. He mentioned a hadith in which: I entered Madinah with my father when I was a young boy, with camels we had brought to Madinah to sell. He said: Talhah b. Ubaydillah ؓ was a friend of my father, so we stayed with him. My father said: O Abu Muhammad, come out with us and sell our camels for us, for we have no knowledge of this market. He said: As for me selling for you, no; the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade a townsman from selling for a bedouin. But I will go out with you both to the market, and if I approve of a man to trade with you, I will instruct you to sell to him. He said: He came out with us and sat in a corner of the market, and men bargained with us for our camels. When a man offered us what satisfied us, we went to him and sought his advice about selling. He said: Sell to him, for I am satisfied with his trustworthiness and his prayer. He said: So we sold to him and took what was ours.
