[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ purchased a horse from Sawwah ibn al-Harith al-Muharibi, but he denied it. Khuzaymah ibn Thabit testified for him, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "What made you give witness for him, despite not being present?" He said, "You have spoken the truth, O Messenger of Allah, but I believed you based on what you said, and I know that you do not speak anything except the truth." Then he said, "Whoever testifies for him and I testify against him, it will be sufficient for him."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ابْتَاعَ مِنْ سَوَاءَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ الْمُحَارِبِيِّ فَرَسًا فَجَحَدَهُ فَشَهِدَ لَهُ خُزَيْمَةُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى الشَّهَادَةِ وَلَمْ تَكُنْ مَعَهُ؟» قَالَ صَدَقْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَلَكِنْ صَدَّقْتُكَ بِمَا قُلْتَ وَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّكَ لَا تَقُولُ إِلَّا حَقًّا فَقَالَ «مَنْ شَهِدَ لَهُ خُزَيْمَةُ وَأَشْهَدَ عَلَيْهِ فَحَسْبُهُ»

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ bought a horse from Sawaa Ibn Al-Haarith, but Sawaa denied it. Khuzaymah Ibn Thabit testified in favor of the Prophet. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked Khuzaymah, "What made you testify without being present?" Khuzaymah replied, "I believed you when you came with it and I knew that you do not speak except the truth." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever testifies for him or against him, it is sufficient."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ اشْتَرَى فَرَسًا مِنْ سَوَاءِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ فَجَحَدَهُ فَشَهِدَ لَهُ خُزَيْمَةُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى الشَّهَادَةِ وَلَمْ تَكُنْ مَعَهُ حَاضِرًا؟» قَالَ صَدَّقْتُكَ لَمَّا جِئْتَ بِهِ وَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ لَا تَقُولُ إِلَّا حَقًّا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ شَهِدَ لَهُ خُزَيْمَةُ أَوْ شَهِدَ عَلَيْهِ فَحَسْبُهُ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ bought a horse from Sawwa ibn Al-Harith Al-Muharibi, but he denied it. Khuzaymah ibn Thabit testified on his behalf, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "What led you to testify even though you were not there?" He replied, "You spoke the truth, O Messenger of Allah, but I believed you and I knew that you do not speak except the truth." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "Whoever testifies for or against someone, his testimony is sufficient." Al-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said, "If it were definite, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not have given his pledge without clear evidence."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ابْتَاعَ مِنْ سَوَاءِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ الْمُحَارِبِيِّ فَرَسًا فَجَحَدَ فَشَهِدَ لَهُ خُزَيْمَةُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى الشَّهَادَةِ وَلَمْ تَكُنْ مَعَهُ؟ قَالَ صَدَقْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَلَكِنْ صَدَّقْتُكَ بِمَا قُلْتَ وَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّكَ لَا تَقُولُ إِلَّا حَقًّا فَقَالَ مَنْ شَهِدَ لَهُ خُزَيْمَةُ أَوْ شَهِدَ عَلَيْهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ فَلَوْ كَانَ حَتْمًا لَمْ يُبَايِعْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِلَا بَيِّنَةٍ
