قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ : حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ الْجُعْفِيُّ ، عَنْ زَائِدَةَ ، ثَنَا أَبُو فَرْوَةَ الْجُهَنِيُّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، عَنْ خُزَيْمَةَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : إِنَّهُ مَرَّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَدِ اشْتَرَى فَرَسًا مِنْ أَعْرَابِيٍّ فَجَحَدَهُ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ الْبَيْعَ ، فَقَالَ : لَمْ أَبِعْكَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : قَدْ بِعْتَنِي ، فَمَرَّ عَلَيْهِمْ خُزَيْمَةُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَسَمِعَ قَوْلَهُمَا ، فَقَالَ : أَنَا أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ بِعْتَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : وَمَا عِلْمُكَ بِذَلِكَ وَلَمْ تَشْهَدْنَا ؟
فَقَالَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : قَدْ شَهِدْنَا عَلَى مَا هُوَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَأَجَازَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَهَادَتَهُ بِشَهَادَةِ رَجُلَيْنِ حَتَّى مَاتَ خُزَيْمَةُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ .
4019 \ 2 - وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ ، ثَنَا عُمَارَةُ بْنُ خُزَيْمَةَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اشْتَرَى فَرَسًا مِنْ سَوَاءِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ الْمُحَارِبِيِّ ، فَجَحَدَهُ ، فَشَهِدَ لَهُ خُزَيْمَةُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى الشَّهَادَةِ وَلَمْ تَكُنْ مَعَنَا حَاضِرًا ، فَقَالَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : صَدَّقْتُكَ بِمَا جِئْتَ بِهِ ، وَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ لَا تَقُولُ إِلَّا حَقًّا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَنْ شَهِدَ لَهُ خُزَيْمَةُ أَوْ عَلَيْهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ .
4019 \ 3 - وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِهَذَا .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Khuzaymah bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that he passed by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he (peace and blessings be upon him) had bought a horse from a Bedouin, but the Bedouin flatly denied the sale, saying: "I did not sell this horse to you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed you did; you sold it to me." Meanwhile Sayyiduna Khuzaymah bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by there and heard their exchange, and he exclaimed: "I bear witness that you have bought it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "How do you know about this matter when you were not present with us at the time of the deal?" He said: "We have borne witness to something far greater and more momentous than this (worldly matter), (namely divine revelation and your prophethood, so how could we doubt your truthfulness in this matter?)" So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made his single testimony, in the Shari'ah, equal to the testimony of two men, and this honour remained with Sayyiduna Khuzaymah (may Allah be pleased with him) until his death.
Likewise, it is narrated through another chain from Sayyiduna Khuzaymah bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) bought a horse from Sawa' bin Qays al-Muharibi, who later denied it, so Sayyiduna Khuzaymah bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) bore witness in his (peace and blessings be upon him) favour. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "What moved you to give this testimony when you were not present on the spot?" He said: "I have affirmed the religion and law you have brought, and I know well that nothing but the truth comes from your blessed tongue." Upon this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) declared this virtue: "Whoever Khuzaymah bears witness for or against, that suffices him."
Imam Ibn Abi Umar, Abu Bakr bin Abi Shaybah and Abu Ya'la narrated this hadith with their respective chains; its origin is also found in Sunan Abi Dawud and al-Nasa'i, and it is sahih (authentic).
