[Machine] A man from Ghaafiq had a debt of one hundred dinars to a man from Mahrah during the time of Uthman. They acquired a good wealth and Al-Mahri said, "I will quickly give you seventy dinars for you to forgive me of the one hundred." The one hundred dinars were a result of a dispute, and the Ghaafiqi agreed to it. Then Al-Miqdad passed by them and took hold of his camel's reins to bear witness. When he finished telling them the story, he said, "Both of you have been granted permission for war from Allah and His Messenger."  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ غَافِقٍ كَانَ لَهُ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ مَهْرَةَ مِائَةُ دِينَارٍ فِي زَمَنِ عُثْمَانَ فَغَنِمُوا غَنِيمَةً حَسَنَةً قَالَ الْمَهْرِيُّ أُعَجِّلُ لَكَ سَبْعِينَ دِينَارًا عَلَى أَنْ تَمْحُوَ عَنِّي الْمِائَةَ وَكَانَتِ الْمِائَةُ مُشَاجَرَةً فَرَضِيَ بِذَلِكَ الْغَافِقِيُّ فَمَرَّ بِهِمَا الْمِقْدَادُ فَأَخَذَ بِلِجَامِ دَابَّتِهِ لِيُشْهِدَهُ فَلَمَّا قَصَّ عَلَيْهِ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ «كِلَاكُمَا قَدْ أُذِنَ بِحَرْبٍ مِنَ اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ»
