"Adda' bin Khalid bin Hawdhah said to me: 'Shall I not read to you a letter that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, wrote to me?' I said: 'Yes.' So he took out a letter. In it was: 'This is what 'Adda' bin Khalid bin Hawdhah bought [from] Muhammad the Messenger of Allah ﷺ He bought from him a slave' or 'a female slave, having no ailments, nor being a runaway, not having any malicious behavior. Sold by a Muslim to a Muslim.'"

الْعَدَّاءُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ هَوْذَةَ أَلَا أُقْرِئُكُمْ كِتَابًا كَتَبَهُ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قُلْنَا بَلَى فَإِذَا فِيهِ مَكْتُوبٌ «بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ هَذَا مَا اشْتَرَى الْعَدَّاءُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ هَوْذَةَ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ اشْتَرَى مِنْهُ عَبْدًا أَوْ أَمَةً شَكَّ عُثْمَانُ بِيَاعَةً أَوْ بَيْعَ الْمُسْلِمِ لَا دَاءَ وَلَا غَائِلَةَ وَلَا خِبْثَةَ» قَالَ الْأَصْمَعِيُّ سَأَلْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ عَنِ الْغَائِلَةِ فَقَالَ «الْأَبَاقُ وَالسَّرِقَةُ وَالزِّنَا» وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْخِبْثَةِ قَالَ «بَيْعُ أَهْلِ عَهْدِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ»  

"Abdul Majid bin Wahb narrated to us, he said: 'Al-'Adda' bin Khalid bin Hawdhah said to me: "Shall I not read to you a letter that was written for me from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?'" He said: 'I said: "Of course." So he took out a letter for me: "This is what Al-'Adda' bin Khalid bin Hawdhah purchased from Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: He purchased from him a slave' - or - 'a female slave, having no ailments, nor being a runaway, nor having any malicious behavior. Sold by a Muslim to a Muslim.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1216)  

قَالَ لِيَ الْعَدَّاءُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ أَلَا أُقْرِئَكَ كِتَابًا كَتَبَهُ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى فَأَخْرَجَ لِي كِتَابًا «هَذَا مَا اشْتَرَى الْعَدَّاءُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ هَوْذَةَ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ اشْتَرَى مِنْهُ عَبْدًا أَوْ أُمَّةً لَا دَاءَ وَلَا غَائِلَةَ وَلَا خِبْثَةَ بَيْعَ الْمُسْلِمِ الْمُسْلِمَ»  

[Machine] Will I not read to you a book that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote for me? So he brought out a book and behold, in it was what Al-A`da' bin Khalid bin Hawzah purchased from Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah. He bought from him a male or female slave who was suffering from neither illness nor blemish, and there was no deceit in the transaction between the two Muslim parties. The sheikh said, "This Hadith is known by the name of Abbad bin Al-Laith, and we have transcribed it from another reliable source."  

أَلَا أُقْرِئُكَ كِتَابًا كَتَبَهُ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَأَخْرَجَ كِتَابًا فَإِذَا فِيهِ هَذَا مَا اشْتَرَى الْعَدَّاءُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ هَوْذَةَ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللهِ اشْتَرَى مِنْهُ عَبْدًا أَوْ أُمَّةً عَبَّادٌ يَشُكُّ لَا دَاءَ لَهُ وَلَا غَائِلَةَ وَلَا خِبْثَةَ بَيْعَ الْمُسْلِمِ الْمُسْلِمَ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ يُعْرَفُ بِعَبَّادِ بْنِ اللَّيْثِ وَقَدْ كَتَبْنَاهُ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ غَيْرِ مُعْتَمَدٍ
