[Machine] There was a man during the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ who used to engage in buying and selling. He had a weak knot in his string. His family went to the Prophet and said, "O Prophet of Allah, supplicate for so-and-so as he is engaged in buying and selling and has a weak knot in his string." The Prophet called him and forbade him from engaging in buying and selling. The man said, "O Prophet of Allah, I cannot refrain from buying and selling." The Prophet ﷺ said, "If you are not abstinent from buying and selling, then say 'Haa and Haa.' There is no concern with the wording of the hadith, as clarified by the hadith of Ar-Rauzabari. Ibn Bashran has also narrated that there was a man during the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ who used to engage in selling, while others engaged in the same. It is as if the Prophet ﷺ did not see him in the place of stoning. The evidence for refraining from stoning is an indication of the permissibility of stoning.
أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَبْتَاعُ وَكَانَ فِي عُقْدَتِهِ ضَعْفٌ فَأَتَى أَهْلُهُ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ احْجُرْ عَلَى فُلَانٍ؛ فَإِنَّهُ يَبْتَاعُ وَفِي عُقْدَتِهِ ضَعْفٌ فَدَعَاهُ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ فَنَهَاهُ عَنِ الْبَيْعِ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ إِنِّي لَا أَصْبِرُ عَنِ الْبَيْعِ فَقَالَ ﷺ إِنْ كُنْتَ غَيْرَ تَارِكٍ الْبَيْعَ فَقُلْ هَا وَهَا وَلَا خِلَابَةَ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الرُّوذْبَارِيِّ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ بِشْرَانَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُبَايِعُ وَالْبَاقِي سَوَاءٌ وَكَأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ حِينَ رَآهُ لَمْ يَرَهُ بِمَحَلِّ الْحَجْرِ عَلَيْهِ وَفِي تَرْكِ إِنْكَارِ الْحَجْرِ دَلِيلٌ عَلَى جَوَازِ الْحَجْرِ
