[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Umar ibn al-Khattab cut off a certain piece of land for me. Zubayr went to the family of Umar and bought his share from them. Then he came to Uthman ibn Affan and said, "Abdul Rahman claims that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ cut off a certain piece of land for him." Uthman replied, "His testimony and yours are acceptable, but it has already been mentioned in the hadith regarding forgetfulness in prayer from Umar ibn al-Khattab that he said to Abdul Rahman ibn Awf, 'You are known for your fairness and contentment, so what did you hear?'"
أَقْطَعَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَعُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ أَرْضَ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَذَهَبَ الزُّبَيْرُ إِلَى آلِ عُمَرَ فَاشْتَرَى نَصِيبَهُ مِنْهُمْ ثُمَّ أَتَى عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ ؓ فَقَالَ إِنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ زَعَمَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَقْطَعَهُ أَرْضَ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَقَالَ هُوَ جَائِزُ الشَّهَادَةِ لَهُ وَعَلَيْهِ وَقَدْ مَضَى فِي حَدِيثِ السَّهْوِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابَ ؓ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ ؓ فَأَنْتَ عِنْدَنَا الْعَدْلُ الرِّضَا فَمَاذَا سَمِعْتَ؟
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When a man is asked about his brother, he has two options: if he chooses to remain silent, then he is in the right. And if he chooses to speak, then he is truthful." Abu Bakr Al-Sulaimani informed us, who was informed by Abu Al-Husayn Al-Fasawi, who was informed by Abu Ali Al-Lu'lu'i, who was informed by Abu Dawood. He mentioned it and said that one of them said about the man.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا سُئِلَ الرَّجُلُ عَنْ أَخِيهِ فَهُوَ بِالْخِيَارِ إِنْ شَاءَ سَكَتَ وَإِنْ شَاءَ قَالَ فَصَدَقَ أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ السُّلَيْمَانِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ الْفَسَوِيُّ ثنا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ اللُّؤْلُؤِيُّ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ فَذَكَرَهُ قَالَ وَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا عَنِ الرَّجُلِ
