Hadith 1216
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ لَيْثٍ صَاحِبُ الْكَرَابِيسِيِّ الْبَصْرِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَجِيدِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ : قَالَ لِي الْعَدَّاءُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ هَوْذَةَ : أَلَا أُقْرِئُكَ كِتَابًا كَتَبَهُ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : بَلَى فَأَخْرَجَ لِي كِتَابًا " هَذَا مَا اشْتَرَى الْعَدَّاءُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ هَوْذَةَ ، مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اشْتَرَى مِنْهُ عَبْدًا ، أَوْ أَمَةً ، لَا دَاءَ ، وَلَا غَائِلَةَ ، وَلَا خِبْثَةَ بَيْعَ الْمُسْلِمِ الْمُسْلِمَ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَبَّادِ بْنِ لَيْثٍ ، وَقَدْ رَوَى عَنْهُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْحَدِيثِ .
‘Abdul Majeed bin Wahb says that ‘Ada bin Khalid bin Huwdhah said to me: “Shall I not read to you a document which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) wrote for me?” I said: “Why not, please do.” Then he took out a document, (in which it was written): “This is a sale contract for something which ‘Ada bin Khalid bin Huwdhah bought from Muhammad (ﷺ).” He bought from you a slave or a slave-girl on the condition that there is no disease in it, nor is it a runaway, nor is it unlawful property. This is a sale of a Muslim from a Muslim 1.” © Imam Tirmidhi says:
This hadith is Hasan Ghareeb. We know it only from the narration of ‘Abbad bin Laith. Several people among the hadith scholars have narrated this hadith from him.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ When buying and selling something valuable, a written document should be prepared.
➋ "A slave or a slave-girl was purchased." That is, in the document, the word "slave" or "slave-girl" was written. This doubt is from Ubad bin Laith, who is the teacher of the teacher of Imam Ibn Majah.
➌ The meaning of (ghā'ilah) has also been explained as: the slave does not have the habit of running away, stealing, committing adultery, or any other such bad habit; and it has also been explained to mean that the slave is not stolen property; and it has also been explained to mean that the seller is not concealing any defect of the slave.
➍ The meaning of (khabathah) has been explained as both unlawful (haram) and as a moral defect.
➎ The meaning of a Muslim selling to a Muslim is that this sale will be considered under all those principles and regulations that exist in Islamic law.
