[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whichever man sells a product and the buyer becomes bankrupt and the seller does not receive anything of its price, yet finds it with his own eyes, then he has more right to it. And if the buyer dies, then the owner of the merchandise is the example of the destitute." Ash-Shafi'i said that the narration of Ibn Khaldah, which I have taken, is more credible to me, meaning the hadith that combines between death and bankruptcy. And the hadith of Ibn Shihab is disconnected, and if it was not contradicted by others, it would not be considered established by the people of hadith. And even if there was not a reason to abandon it except this, it would be better for the one who knows the hadith to leave it for two reasons, although Abu Bakr bin Abdul Rahman narrates from Abu Huraira a hadith that does not contain what Ibn Shihab narrates from him, it is Mursal (imperfect chain of narration), if it were.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ بَاعَ مَتَاعًا فَأَفْلَسَ الَّذِي ابْتَاعَهُ وَلَمْ يَقْبِضِ الْبَائِعُ مِنْ ثَمَنِهِ شَيْئًا فَوَجَدَهُ بِعَيْنِهِ فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهِ وَإِنْ مَاتَ الْمُشْتَرِي فَصَاحِبُ السِّلْعَةِ أُسْوَةُ الْغُرَمَاءِ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ الَّذِي أَخَذْتُ بِهِ أَوْلَى بِي يَعْنِي حَدِيثَ ابْنِ خَلْدَةَ مِنْ قِبَلِ أَنَّ مَا أَخَذْتُ بِهِ مَوْصُولٌ يَجْمَعُ فِيهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَيْنَ الْمَوْتِ وَالْإِفْلَاسِ وَحَدِيثُ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ مُنْقَطِعٌ وَلَوْ لَمْ يُخَالِفْهُ غَيْرُهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِمَّا يُثْبِتُهُ أَهْلُ الْحَدِيثِ وَلَوْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي تَرْكِهِ حُجَّةٌ إِلَّا هَذَا انْبَغَى لِمَنْ عَرَفَ الْحَدِيثَ تَرَكُهُ مِنَ الْوَجْهَيْنِ مَعَ أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرِ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ يَرْوِي عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ حَدِيثًا لَيْسَ فِيهِ مَا رَوَى ابْنُ شِهَابٍ عَنْهُ مُرْسَلًا إِنْ كَانَ
