أَخْبَرَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْهَيْثَمِ بْنِ عِمْرَانَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى وَهُوَ ابْنُ حَمْزَةَ عَنِ الزُّبَيْدِيِّ أَنَّ الزُّهْرِيَّ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ أَنَّ عَمَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ

وَهُوَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ ابْتَاعَ فَرَسًا مِنْ أَعْرَابِيٍّ وَاسْتَتْبَعَهُ لِيَقْبِضَ ثَمَنَ فَرَسِهِ فَأَسْرَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَبْطَأَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ وَطَفِقَ رِجَالٌ يَتَعَرَّضُونَ لِلْأَعْرَابِيِّ فَيَسُومُونَهُ بِالْفَرَسِ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ ابْتَاعَهُ حَتَّى زَادَ بَعْضُهُمْ فِي السَّوْمِ عَلَى مَا ابْتَاعَهُ بِهِ مِنْهُ فَنَادَى الْأَعْرَابِيُّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنْ كُنْتَ مُبْتَاعًا هَذَا الْفَرَسَ وَإِلَّا بِعْتُهُ فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حِينَ سَمِعَ نِدَاءَهُ فَقَالَ «أَلَيْسَ قَدِ ابْتَعْتُهُ مِنْكَ؟» قَالَ لَا وَاللهِ مَا بِعْتُكَهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «قَدِ ابْتَعْتُهُ مِنْكَ» فَطَفِقَ النَّاسُ يَلُوذُونَ بِالنَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُمَا يَتَرَاجَعَانِ وَطَفِقَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ يَقُولُ هَلُمَّ شَاهِدًا يَشْهَدُ أَنِّي قَدْ بِعْتُكَهُ قَالَ خُزَيْمَةُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ أَنَا أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ قَدْ بِعْتَهُ قَالَ فَأَقْبَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى خُزَيْمَةَ فَقَالَ «بِمَ تَشْهَدُ؟» قَالَ بِتَصْدِيقِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ شَهَادَةَ خُزَيْمَةَ بِشَهَادَةِ رَجُلَيْنِ

✧ He was one of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ bought a horse from a bedouin and asked him to follow him so that he could pay him the price of his horse. The Prophet ﷺ walked quickly, while the bedouin was slow. Some men began to approach the bedouin and bargain with him for the horse, not knowing that the Prophet ﷺ had already bought it, until one of them offered more than the price for which the Prophet ﷺ had bought it. The bedouin called out to the Prophet ﷺ, saying: “If you are going to buy this horse, then do so; otherwise I will sell it.” The Prophet ﷺ stood up when he heard his call and said: “Did I not buy it from you?” He said: “No, by Allah, I did not sell it to you.” The Prophet ﷺ said: “I did buy it from you.” The people began to gather around the Prophet ﷺ while the two of them were arguing back and forth. The bedouin kept saying: “Bring a witness who will testify that I sold it to you.” Khuzaymah b. Thabit said: “I testify that you sold it.” He said: “The Prophet ﷺ turned to Khuzaymah and said: ‘On what basis do you testify?’ He said: ‘On the basis of believing you, O Messenger of Allah.’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made the testimony of Khuzaymah equal to the testimony of two men.”
