أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ , قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ , قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عُمَارَةُ بْنُ أَبِي حَفْصَةَ , قَالَ : أَنْبَأَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ , عَنْ عَائِشَةَ , قَالَتْ : كَانَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بُرْدَيْنِ قِطْرِيَّيْنِ , وَكَانَ إِذَا جَلَسَ فَعَرِقَ فِيهِمَا ثَقُلَا عَلَيْهِ , وَقَدِمَ لِفُلَانٍ الْيَهُودِيِّ بَزٌّ مِنْ الشَّأْمِ , فَقُلْتُ : لَوْ أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيْهِ فَاشْتَرَيْتَ مِنْهُ ثَوْبَيْنِ إِلَى الْمَيْسَرَةِ , فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ , فَقَالَ : قَدْ عَلِمْتُ مَا يُرِيدُ مُحَمَّدٌ , إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ بِمَالِي أَوْ يَذْهَبَ بِهِمَا , فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " كَذَبَ قَدْ عَلِمَ أَنِّي مِنْ أَتْقَاهُمْ لِلَّهِ وَآدَاهُمْ لِلْأَمَانَةِ " .
´It was narrated that 'Aishah said:` "The Messenger of Allah was wearing two Qitri garments which, if he sat and sweated, would become heavy (and uncomfortable). A Jewish man got some fabric from Ash-sham so I said: 'Why don't you send word to him to buy two garments from him, and pay him when things get easier?' So he sent word to him, but he said: 'I know what Muhammad wants; he wants to go away with my money and take them (the two garments).' The Messenger of Allah said; 'He is lying; he knows that I am one of the ones who fear Allah the most, and are most honest in fulfilling trusts.

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
(1) It is understood from this that it is permissible to purchase goods on credit for a specified period. If this were not permissible, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would never have done so, and that too with a Jew of wicked nature.
(2) This blessed hadith also indicates the simplicity of the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and his life of hardship, even though Allah, the Exalted, had given the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) the choice that if he wished, he could be made a kingly prophet, and if he wished, he could be made a “servant.” Despite this offer, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) preferred to be a servant, that is, a needy prophet at the door of Allah. This is because what Allah, the Exalted, has for you in the Hereafter is far better and everlasting. For this reason, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not give the slightest importance to worldly wealth, possessions, or kingship.
(3) This hadith is a clear proof that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) feared Allah more than all of creation; therefore, any self-invented methods of fearing Allah that deviate from his way are rejected, and anyone who claims otherwise is a liar. Moreover, he was more loyal, fulfilled promises more than anyone else, and was the most trustworthy in returning trusts.
(4) His dealings and transactions with the Jews, even though they were clearly people of bribery and unlawful earnings, is evidence that it is permissible to transact with someone who possesses unlawful wealth, provided that the wealth involved in the transaction itself is not unlawful. And Allah knows best.
(5) “When there is ease,” meaning, he did not specify any period, whereas the chapter mentions a specified period. Therefore, the chapter should be titled “Sale for an Unspecified Period,” and in Sunan al-Kubra, the chapter is indeed titled in this way so that the hadith matches the chapter.
(6) “Qatar village” was a settlement in the region of Bahrain where the best cloth was produced.
(7) If the chapter heading remains as it is, then the relevance of the hadith would be that the time of ease was specified among them, for example: when the time of harvest comes and the dates are brought into the houses, etc. This is also a form of specification.
(8) “I know,” meaning, he fabricated this lie only to avoid a credit transaction; otherwise, even in his heart, he did not believe this.

Explanation:
1:
From this it is understood that it is permissible to conduct a credit transaction for a specified period, because the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not object to such a sale; rather, he sent a person to that Jew for this purpose. The chapter heading is also deduced from this.
