أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ، بِبَغْدَادَ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بِشْرٍ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، ثنا جُوَيْرِيَةُ ابْنُ أَسْمَاءَ، عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَمْلُوكًا لِعُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: بَعَثَنِي عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فِي تِجَارَةٍ، فَقَدِمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَحْمَدَ وِلَايَتِي، قَالَ: فَقُمْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، أَسْأَلُكَ الْكِتَابَةَ، فَقَطَّبَ، فَقَالَ: " نَعَمْ، وَلَوْلَا آيَةٌ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ مَا فَعَلْتُ، أُكَاتِبُكَ عَلَى مِائَةِ أَلْفٍ، عَلَى أَنْ تُعِدَّهَا لِي فِي عِدَتَيْنِ، لَا وَاللهِ أَغُضُّكَ مِنْهَا دِرْهَمًا "، قَالَ: فَخَرَجْتُ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ، فَلَقِيَنِي الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ: مَا الَّذِي أَرَى بِكَ؟ قُلْتُ: كَانَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بَعَثَنِي فِي تِجَارَةٍ، فَقَدِمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَحْمَدَ وِلَايَتِي، فَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، أَسْأَلُكَ الْكِتَابَةَ، قَالَ: فَقَطَّبَ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: " نَعَمْ، وَلَوْلَا آيَةٌ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ مَا فَعَلْتُ، أُكَاتِبُكَ عَلَى مِائَةِ أَلْفٍ عَلَى أَنْ تُعِدَّهَا لِي فِي عِدَتَيْنِ، وَاللهِ لَا أَغُضُّكَ مِنْهَا دِرْهَمًا "، قال، فَقَالَ: انْطَلِقْ، قَالَ: فَرَدَّنِي إِلَيْهِ، فَقَامَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، فُلَانٌ كَاتَبْتَهُ؟ قَالَ: فَقَطَّبَ وَقَالَ: " نَعَمْ، وَلَوْلَا آيَةٌ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ مَا فَعَلْتُ، أُكَاتِبُهُ عَلَى مِائَةِ أَلْفٍ عَلَى أَنْ يُعِدَّهَا لِي فِي عِدَتَيْنِ، وَاللهِ لَا أَغُضُّهُ مِنْهَا دِرْهَمًا، قَالَ: فَغَضِبَ الزُّبَيْرُ فَقَالَ: لِلَّهِ لَأَمْثُلَنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ، فَإِنَّمَا أَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكَ حَاجَةً تَحُولُ دُونَهَا بِيَمِينٍ؟، قَالَ: فَضَرَبَ، لَا أَدْرِي قَالَ: كَتِفِيَّ، أَوْ قَالَ: عَضُدِيَّ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: كَاتِبْهُ، قَالَ فَكَاتَبْتُهُ فَانْطَلَقَ بِيَ الزُّبَيْرُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ، فَأَعْطَانِي مِائَةَ أَلْفٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: انْطَلِقْ فَاطْلُبْ فِيهَا مِنْ فَضْلِ اللهِ، فَإِنْ غَلَبَكَ أَمْرٌ فَأَدِّ إِلَى عُثْمَانَ مَالَهُ مِنْهَا، فَانْطَلَقْتُ فَطَلَبْتُ فِيهَا مِنْ فَضْلِ اللهِ، وَأَدَّيْتُ إِلَى عُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ مَالَهُ، وَإِلَى الزُّبَيْرِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ مَالَهُ، وَفَضَلَ فِي ⦗٥٤١⦘ يَدِيَّ ثَمَانُونَ أَلْفًا..
Muslim bin Abi Maryam narrates from a man who said: I was a slave of Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him). Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) sent me on a trading venture; when I returned to him, he praised my management. He says: One day I stood before him and said: "O Commander of the Faithful, I ask you for a contract of manumission (mukatabah)." He frowned and said: "Yes; were it not for a verse in the Book of Allah, I would not do it. I will make the contract with you for one hundred thousand, on condition that you pay it to me in two instalments; by Allah, I will not reduce it by a single dirham." He says: I left him and Zubayr bin al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him) met me. He said: "What is the matter with you that I see?" I said: The Commander of the Faithful had sent me on a trading venture; when I returned to him he praised my management, so I stood before him and said: "O Commander of the Faithful, I ask you for a contract of manumission." He frowned and said: "Yes; were it not for a verse in the Book of Allah, I would not do it. I will make the contract with you for one hundred thousand, on condition that you pay it to me in two instalments; by Allah, I will not reduce it by a single dirham." Zubayr said: "Come along." He took me back to him, stood before him and said: "O Commander of the Faithful, have you made a contract with so-and-so?" He frowned and said: "Yes; were it not for a verse in the Book of Allah, I would not have done it. I am making the contract with him for one hundred thousand, on condition that he pays it to me in two instalments; by Allah, I will not reduce it by a single dirham." The narrator says: Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) became angry and said: "By Allah, I will stand before you as a petitioner! I only ask a need of you, and you bar it with an oath?" He says: Then he struck, I do not know whether he said my shoulder or my upper arm, and then said: "Make the contract with him." He says: So I made the contract with him, and Zubayr bin al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him) took me to his family and gave me one hundred thousand, then said: "Go and seek the bounty of Allah with it; if something overwhelms you, then pay Uthman what is due to him from it." He says: So I went and sought the bounty of Allah with it, and I paid Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) what was due to him and Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) what was due to him, and eighty thousand remained in my hands.
