أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ، وَالْحَسَنُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عِصْمَةَ، قَالُوا: ثنا السَّرِيُّ بْنُ خُزَيْمَةَ، ثنا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ، ثنا أَبِي، عَنْ أَبِي الْعُمَيْسِ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ قَيْسِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْأَشْعَثِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: اشْتَرَى الْأَشْعَثُ رَقِيقًا مِنْ رَقِيقِ الْخُمُسِ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بِعِشْرِينَ أَلْفًا، فَأَرْسَلَ عَبْدُ اللهِ إِلَيْهِ فِي ثَمَنِهِمْ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّمَا أَخَذْتُهُمْ بِعَشَرَةِ آلَافٍ، فَقَالَ ⦗٥٤٢⦘ عَبْدُ اللهِ: فَاخْتَرْ رَجُلًا يَكُونُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ، فَقَالَ الْأَشْعَثُ: أَنْتَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ نَفْسِكَ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: " إِذَا اخْتَلَفَ الْبَيِّعَانِ، وَلَيْسَ بَيْنَهُمَا بَيِّنَةٌ فَهُوَ مَا يَقُولُ رَبُّ السِّلْعَةِ، أَوْ يَتَتَارَكَانِ " رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ فِي كِتَابِ السُّنَنِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ حَفْصٍ هَذَا إِسْنَادٌ حَسَنٌ مَوْصُولٌ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ أَوْجُهٍ بِأَسَانِيدَ مَرَاسِيلَ إِذَا جُمِعَ بَيْنَهَا صَارَ الْحَدِيثُ بِذَلِكَ قَوِيًّا.
Abd al-Rahman bin Qays bin Muhammad bin al-Ash'ath bin Qays narrates from his father, and he from his grandfather, that al-Ash'ath (may Allah be pleased with him) bought some slaves from the slaves of the khums from Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) for twenty thousand, and Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) sent someone to him to collect their price. Al-Ash'ath (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I took them for ten thousand. Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Choose a man to judge between me and you. Al-Ash'ath (may Allah be pleased with him) said: You are (the judge) between me and yourself. Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "When the two parties to a sale disagree and there is no proof between them, the word of the owner of the goods is accepted, or else they both abandon (the sale)."
This is a hasan (good), connected chain, and it has also been narrated through several ways with mursal chains which, when combined, make the hadith strong.
