[Machine] "It is only four thousand, so he argued with Umar. Uthman said, 'I lent him seven thousand.' Muqdad said, 'He swears that it is seven thousand?' Umar said, 'You have done justice, but he refused to swear.' He said, 'Take what he has given you.' He said, 'By Allah, the one besides whom there is no other god, it is only seven thousand.' Umar said, 'So what prevents you from swearing? Indeed, it is day and night.'"  

الطبراني:١٧٧٥٧حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ الْمَازِنِيُّ ثنا مُسَدَّدٌ ثنا مَسْلَمَةُ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ أَنَّ الْمِقْدَادَ بْنَ الْأَسْوَدِ اسْتَقْرَضَ مِنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ سَبْعَةَ آلَافٍ فَلَمَّا طَلَبَهَا مِنْهُ قَالَ

إِنَّمَا هِيَ أَرْبَعَةُ آلَافٍ فَخَاصَمَهُ إِلَى عُمَرَ فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ أَقْرَضْتُهُ سَبْعَةَ آلَافٍ وَقَالَ الْمِقْدَادُ تَحْلِفُ أَنَّهَا سَبْعَةُ آلَافٍ؟ فَقَالَ قَدْ أَنْصَفْتَ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَحْلِفَ فَقَالَ خُذْ مَا أَعْطَاكَ فَقَالَ وَاللهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ إِنَّمَا هِيَ سَبْعَةُ آلَافٍ؟ قَالَ فَمَا يَمْنَعُكَ أَنْ تَحْلِفَ إِنَّ هَذَا اللَّيْلُ وَهَذَا النَّهَارُ؟

السيوطي:٢-١٤٤٦b

"عن الشَّعْبِىِّ أنَّ المقدادَ اسْتَقْرَضَ من عثمانَ بن عفانَ سبعةَ آلافِ دِرهَم، فلمَّا تقاضَاهُ قَال: إِنَّما هِى أَرْبَعَةُ آلافٍ، فخاصَمَهُ إلى عمر، فقال المقدادُ: احْلِفْ أَنَّهَا سبعةُ آلافٍ، فقال عمر: أَنْصَفَكَ، فَأَبَى أَنْ يَحْلِفَ، فقال عمر: خُذْ ما أعْطَاكَ".
