Hadith 123

(The book) ‘Al Ikhtisas’ – Ja’far Bin Al Husayn and Ahmad Bin Haroun and others, from Ibn Al Waleed, from Al Saffar, from Al Khashab, from Ibn Kaloub, from Is’haq Bin Ammar, ‘From Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww bought a horse from a Bedouin which had fascinated him-saww. A group from the hypocrites arose and envied Rasool-Allah-saww upon what he-saww had taken from him. They said to the Bedouin, ‘If only you would have reached the market with it, you could have sold it for double this (amount)’. So, evil entered into the Bedouin and he said, ‘Shall I retract and rescind it? ’ They said, ‘No. He-saww is a righteous man, so when he-saww comes to you with your cash, then say, ‘I did not sell it for this (amount)’, so he-saww will return it (horse) to you’. When the Prophet-saww came, brought out the cash to him. He said, ‘I did not sell it to you-saww for this (amount)’. The Prophet-saww said: ‘By the One-azwj Who Sent me-saww with the Truth! You have sold it to me-saww (for this amount)’. Khuzeyma Bin Sabit came and said, ‘O Bedouin! I testify you have sold it to Rasool-Allah-saww for this price which he-saww says’. The Bedouin said, ‘I had sold it and where was no one else with us’. Rasool-Allah-saww said to Khuzeyma: ‘How can you testify with this? ’
He said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! May my father and my mother be (sacrificed) for you-saww, you-saww informed us about Allah-azwj and news of the skies and we ratified you-saww, and we cannot ratify you-saww regarding the price of this (horse)? ’ Thus, Rasool-Allah-saww made his testimony as being the testimonies of two men, so he is (called) ‘Zul Shahadatayn’ (one of two testimonies)’’.
