Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 21487 — Guarantee of clear title (khalas)

Ayyub said: A woman sold her husband's house while he was away. When he returned, he refused to let the sale stand. The case was brought to the court of Iyas bin Mu'awiyah, and the buyer began to say: May Allah set you right, I have spent 2,000 dirhams on it. He said: Your 2,000 are owed by me, your 2,000 are owed by me. Iyas gave judgment on the house in favour of the man and ordered the woman to be put in prison. When he saw this, he allowed the sale.
