the Prophet bought a horse from a Bedouin and asked him to follow him, so that he could pay him for the horse. The Prophet hastened but the Bedouin was slow. Men started to talk to the Bedouin and make offers for the horse, and they did not realize that the Prophet had bought it, until some of them offered more than the Prophet had bought it for. Then the Bedouin called out to the Prophet and said; "Are you going to buy this horse or shall I sell it?" The Prophet stood up when he heard him calling and said: "Have I not bought it from you?" He said: 'No, by Allah, I have not sold it to you, and the Prophet said "I bought it from you." The people started to gaiter around the Prophet and the Bedouion as they were talking, and the Bedouin started to say: "Bring a witness who will testify that you bought it. " Khuzaimah bin habit said: "I bear witness that you bought it" The Prophet turned to Khunzimah and said: "Why are you bearing witness?" He said: "Because I know that you are truthful, O Messenger of Allah" made the testimony of Khuzaimah equivalent to the testimony of two men. (sahih)

The Prophet ﷺ bought a horse from a Bedouin. The Prophet ﷺ took him with him to pay him the price of his horse. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ walked quickly and the Bedouin walked slowly. The people stopped the Bedouin and began to bargain with him for the horse as and they did not know that the Prophet ﷺ had bought it. The Bedouin called the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: If you want this horse, (then buy it), otherwise I shall sell it. The Prophet ﷺ stopped when he heard the call of the Bedouin, and said: Have I not bought it from you? The Bedouin said: I swear by Allah, I have not sold it to you. The Prophet ﷺ said: Yes, I have bought it from you. The Bedouin began to say: Bring a witness. Khuzaymah ibn Thabit then said: I bear witness that you have bought it. The Prophet ﷺ turned to Khuzaymah and said: On what (grounds) do you bear witness? He said: By considering you trustworthy, Messenger of Allah ﷺ! The Prophet ﷺ made the witness of Khuzaymah equivalent to the witness of two people.

[Machine] "And he was one of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ . Ali ibn Hamsad al-Adl narrated to us, Ismail ibn Ishaq al-Qadi and Hassan ibn Ali ibn Ziyad narrated to us, they said: Ismail ibn Abi Uwais narrated to us, my brother Abu Bakr narrated to us, from Sulaiman ibn Bilal, from Muhammad ibn Abi Atiq, from Ibn Shihab, from Umara ibn Khuzaimah, that his uncle informed him that he was one of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . The Messenger of Allah ﷺ bought a horse from a man from the Bedouins, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ followed him to pay the price for the horse. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ walked faster while the Bedouin walked slower. Some men intercepted the Bedouin and offered to buy the horse from him, not knowing that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had already bought it. Some of them increased the bid, so when they did, the Bedouin called out, "O Messenger of Allah, if you intend to buy this horse, then take it; otherwise, I will sell it to them." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up when he heard the call of the Bedouin and went to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "Didn't I buy it from you?" He replied, "No, by Allah, I didn't sell it to you." The people started to resort to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Bedouin, while they were moving back. Then the Bedouin said, "Come here, witness that I have sold it to you." Khuzaimah said, "I bear witness that you have sold it to him." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ approached Khuzaimah and asked, "What do you bear witness to?" He replied, "I bear witness to your truthfulness." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The testimony of Khuzaimah is the testimony of two men."

[Machine] And he is from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ that the Prophet ﷺ bought a horse from an Arab and he approached to give him the price of his horse. So the Prophet ﷺ walked quickly and the Arab walked slowly. Some men intercepted the Arab and bargained with him for the horse, not realizing that the Prophet ﷺ had bought it, until some of them exceeded the price of the horse that the Prophet ﷺ had bought. So the Arab called out to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "If you are a buyer of this horse, then buy it, otherwise, let me sell it." The Prophet ﷺ said when he heard the call of the Arab, "Didn't you buy it?" He said, "No, by Allah, we did not sell it to you." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes, indeed, I bought it." Then the people fled with the Prophet ﷺ and the Arab, and they both retreated. The Arab then said, "Come, be my witness that I have sold it to you." So whoever came from the Muslims said to the Arab, "Woe to you! The Prophet ﷺ would not lie except with truth." Until Khuzaymah came and listened to the review of the Prophet ﷺ and the review of the Arab. The Arab then said, "Come, be my witness that I have sold it to you." Khuzaymah said, "I bear witness that you have indeed sold it to him." So the Prophet ﷺ approached Khuzaymah and said, "What will you testify to?" He said, "By your truthfulness, O Messenger of Allah." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ considered the testimony of Khuzaymah as the testimony of two men.
