Al-Kafi 14556

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, from Muawiya Bin Wahab who said, ‘The courtyard where the marketers used to Pray over the funerals in the era of Rasool-Allah^saww was called Al-Bat’ha. There used to be sold therein, the milk, and the butter, and the cheese; and a Bedouin came over with a horse of his, so he fastened it. So Rasool-Allah^saww bought it from him. Then he^saww entered (went home) in order to fetch the price of it. So the hypocritical people arose and said to him, ‘For how much did you sell your horse?’ He said, ‘For such and such’. They said, ‘Bad (price) is what you sold it. Your horse is better than that, and Rasool-Allah^saww came out to him with the price, loyally, in a goodly manner. So the Bedouin said, ‘I did not sell it, by Allah^azwj!’ So Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘Glory be to Allah^azwj! But, by Allah^azwj, you have sold it to me^saww’; and the voices got raised. So the people said, ‘Rasool-Allah^saww is bargaining with the Bedouin’. So a lot of people gathered around. So Abu Abdullah^asws said: ‘And with the Prophet^saww were his^saww companions, when Khuzayma Bin Sabit Al-Ansary came over, and he cleared the people by his hands until he ended up to the Prophet^saww. So he said, ‘I hereby testify, O Rasool-Allah^saww, that you have bought it from him’. So the Bedouin said, ‘You are testifying and were not present with us?’ And the Prophet^saww said to him: ‘Did you witness us?’ So he said, ‘No, O Rasool-Allah^saww! But, I know that you^saww have bought it. I have ratified you^saww with what you have come with from the Presence of Allah^saww, and I should not ratify you^saww against this wicked Bedouin?’ He^asws said: ‘So Rasool-Allah^saww was amazed at him and said: ‘O Khuzeyma! Your testimony is the testimony of two men’.
