قَدِمَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ بِإِبِلٍ لَهُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِعْ لِي إِبِلِي هَذِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) لَسْتُ بِبَيَّاعٍ فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ قَالَ فَأَشِرْ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ لَهُ بِعْ هَذَا الْجَمَلَ بِكَذَا وَ بِعْ هَذِهِ النَّاقَةَ بِكَذَا حَتَّى وَصَفَ لَهُ كُلَّ بَعِيرٍ مِنْهَا فَخَرَجَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ إِلَى السُّوقِ فَبَاعَهَا ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَقَالَ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا زَادَتْ دِرْهَماً وَ لَا نَقَصَتْ دِرْهَماً مِمَّا قُلْتَ لِي فَاسْتَهْدِنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لَا قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُكَلِّمُهُ حَتَّى قَالَ لَهُ أَهْدِ لَنَا نَاقَةً وَ لَا تَجْعَلْهَا وَلْهَى .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ibrahim Bin Abdul Hameed, from Mus’ab Bin Abdullah Al nowfaly, from the one who raised it who said, ‘A Bedouin came over upon a camel of his, in the era of Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>, so he said to him<sup>saww</sup>, ‘O Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>! Sell this camel of mine for me’. So Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said to him: ‘I<sup>saww</sup> am not a seller in the market’. He said, ‘So indicate to me (how to sell)’. So he<sup>saww</sup> said to him: ‘Sell this camel with such and such, and sell this she-camel with such and such’, until he<sup>saww</sup> had described each of the camels from it. So the Bedouin went out to the market, and he sold them. Then he came over to Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>, so he said, ‘By the One<sup>azwj</sup> Who Sent you<sup>saww</sup> with the Truth, there was neither increase one Dirham nor reduced by one Dirham from what you<sup>saww</sup> had said to me, therefore accept my gift O Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>!’ He<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘No’. He said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>!’ So he did not cease to speak to him<sup>saww</sup> until he<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Gift to me a she-camel and do not make it leave its young’.
