[Machine] The Prophet, ﷺ , wished that Uthman and Abdur Rahman bin Awf would enter into a business transaction so that we could see which of them is greater in trade. So Abdur Rahman bought a horse from Uthman for another piece of land for forty thousand dirhams or something similar, if the deal was completed and it was sound. Then he hesitated a little and returned, saying, "I will give you an additional six thousand dirhams if my messenger finds it safe." Uthman agreed and his messenger found it safe. Then Abdur Rahman found out that the horse had died, so he returned it according to the other condition that was added, and it was narrated by anyone else, and he added to it, "And Abdur Rahman will not enter into something unless he has knowledge of it."

النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَدِدْنَا أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ وَعَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ قَدْ تَبَايَعَا حَتَّى نَنْظُرَ أَيُّهُمَا أَعْظَمُ جِدًّا فِي التِّجَارَةِ فَاشْتَرَى عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ مِنْ عُثْمَانَ ؓ فَرَسًا بِأَرْضٍ أُخْرَى بِأَرْبَعِينَ أَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ أَوْ نَحْوِ ذَلِكَ إِنْ أَدْرَكَتْهَا الصَّفْقَةُ وَهِيَ سَالِمَةٌ ثُمَّ أَجَازَ قَلِيلًا فَرَجَعَ فَقَالَ أَزِيدُكَ سِتَّةَ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ إنْ وَجَدَهَا رَسُولِي سَالِمَةً فَقَالَ نَعَمْ فَوَجَدَهَا رَسُولُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَدْ هَلَكَتْ فَخَرَجَ مِنْهَا بِشَرْطِهِ الْآخَرِ وَرَوَاهُ غَيْرُهُ وَزَادَ فِيهِ وَلَا أَخَالُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ إِلَّا وَقَدْ عَرَفَهَا
