Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 7867 — a man displayed his merchandise (for sale)

حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْوَاسِطِيُّ ، نَا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْمُزَنِيُّ ، عَنِ الْعَوَّامِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى قَالَ : أَقَامَ رَجُلٌ سِلْعَةً ، فَحَلَفَ بِاللهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ لَقَدْ أُعْطِيَ بِهَا مَا لَمْ يُعْطَ بِهَا لِيُوقِعَ فِيهَا مُسْلِمًا I " ، فَنَزَلَتْ : إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلا .
لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنِ الْعَوَّامِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ ، إِلَّا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ : وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that a man displayed his merchandise (for sale) and swore by Allah, besides whom there is no god, that he had already been offered such a price for it, which in fact he had not been offered, so as to trap a Muslim (into loss) by it. Upon this, this verse was revealed: "Indeed, those who take a small price in exchange for the covenant of Allah and their oaths."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from al-Awwam bin Hawshab except Muhammad bin al-Hasan, and Wahb bin Baqiyyah is alone in narrating it."
