وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا الْخَلِيلُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا، ثَنَا مُجَالِدٌ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ ؓ قَالَ:

إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ اشْتَرَى مِنْ أَعْرَابِيٍّ فَرَسًا، فَجَحَدَهُ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ، فَجَاءَ خُزَيْمَةُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ ؓ فَقَالَ: يَا أَعْرَابِيُّ، أَتَجْحَدُ ؟ أَنَا أَشْهَدُ عَلَيْكَ أَنَّكَ بِعْتَهُ. فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ: إِنْ شَهِدَ عَلَيَّ خُزَيْمَةُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ فَأَعْطِنِي الثَّمَنَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: يَا خُزَيْمَةُ، إِنَّا لَمْ نَشْهَدْكَ، فَكَيْفَ تَشْهَدُ ؟ فَقَالَ ؓ: أَنَا أُصَدِّقُكَ عَلَى خَبَرِ السَّمَاءِ، أَلَا أُصَدِّقُكَ عَلَى ذَا الْأَعْرَابِيِّ ؟ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ شَهَادَتَهُ بِشَهَادَةِ رَجُلَيْنِ، فَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ رَجُلٌ تَجُوزُ شَهَادَتُهُ بِشَهَادَةِ رَجُلَيْنِ غَيْرَ خُزَيْمَةَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ؓ

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ bought a horse from a Bedouin, and the Bedouin denied it. Khuzaymah b. Thābit ؓ came and said: “O Bedouin, do you deny? I testify against you that you sold it.” The Bedouin said: “If Khuzaymah b. Thābit testifies against me, then give me the price.” The Messenger of God ﷺ said: “O Khuzaymah, we did not call you as a witness; how do you testify?” He ؓ said: “I believe you in the news of heaven; should I not believe you about this Bedouin?” The Messenger of God ﷺ made his testimony equal to that of two men. There was no man in Islam whose testimony counted as that of two men except Khuzaymah b. Thābit ؓ.
