Qasim bin Abd al-Rahman narrates from his father that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) sold Sayyiduna al-Ash'ath bin Qays (may Allah be pleased with him) a slave from the slaves of the government. The two of them (may Allah be pleased with them both) disagreed about the price. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I sold you the slave for 20 thousand, and Sayyiduna al-Ash'ath (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I bought it for 10 thousand. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If you wish, I will tell you a hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) which I heard from him (peace and blessings be upon him). Sayyiduna al-Ash'ath (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Bring it. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "When the two parties to a sale disagree while the item sold is still present as it was, and there is no proof between them, the word of the seller is accepted, or else both of them abandon the sale." Sayyiduna al-Ash'ath (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I think the sale should be revoked.
(b) These are the words of Ibn Abi Shaybah's hadith. Ibn Abi Layla (may Allah have mercy on him) differed from the group in narrating this hadith: in its chain, where he said "from his father", and in its text, where he added: "while the item sold is still present as it was."
(c) Isma'il bin Ayyash narrated it from Musa bin Uqbah, from Muhammad bin Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Layla (may Allah have mercy on him), and said in it: "while the goods are just as they were," that is, in their original state.
When Isma'il narrates from the people of the Hijaz, he is not used as evidence; and Muhammad bin Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Layla, although great in fiqh, is da'if (weak) in narration because of his poor memory, his many errors in chains and texts, and his contradicting the hafiz scholars in them. May Allah forgive us and him. Al-Hasan bin Umarah followed him in this narration from al-Qasim, and he is matruk (abandoned) and not used as evidence.
