٥٨۔ كِتَابُ السِّيَرِ
A man of ad-Dabab, said: When the Prophet ﷺ became free from the people of Badr I brought to him a colt of my mare called al-Qarha' I said: Muhammad, I have brought a colt of a al-Qarha' , so that you may take it. He said: I have no need of it. If you wish that I give you a select coat of mail from (the spoils of) Badr, I shall do it. I said: I cannot give you today a colt in exchange. He said: Then I have no need of it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2786)
أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بَعْدَ أَنْ فَرَغَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ بِابْنِ فَرَسٍ لِي يُقَالُ لَهَا الْقَرْحَاءُ فَقُلْتُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنِّي جِئْتُكَ بِابْنِ الْقَرْحَاءِ لِتَتَّخِذَهُ قَالَ لَا حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهِ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْ أُقِيضَكَ بِهِ الْمُخْتَارَةَ مِنْ دُرُوعِ بَدْرٍ فَعَلْتُ قُلْتُ مَا كُنْتُ أُقِيضُهُ الْيَوْمَ بِغُرَّةٍ قَالَ فَلَا حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ قَوْلُهُ أُقِيضُكَ مِنَ الْمُقَايَضَةِ وَهِيَ الْمُبَادَلَةُ
