so we searched for it but did not find it." He said: The Bedouin exclaimed, "Oh, what treachery!" She said: The people became agitated and said, "May Allāh destroy you, would the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) commit treachery?!" She said: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said, "Leave him, for the one who has a right has a say." Then the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) returned and said, "O servant of Allāh! We have bought camels from you and we thought we had what we named for you, so we searched for it but did not find it." The Bedouin exclaimed, "Oh, what treachery!" The people reproached him and said, "May Allāh destroy you, would the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) commit treachery?!" The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said, "Leave him, for the one who has a right has a say." The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) repeated this two or three times, and when he saw that he did not understand, he said to one of his Companions: Go to Khawlah bint Ḥakīm ibn Umayyah and say to her: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) says to you: If you have a wasq of al-Dhakhīrah dates, lend it to us until we can repay you, if Allāh wills.

She said: The Bedouin passed by the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) while he was sitting with his Companions. He said: May Allāh reward you with good, you have fulfilled and been generous. She said: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) mentioned him. I said: And this isnād is good; all its men are trustworthy, the men of the two Shaykhs, except for Ibn Isḥāq - who is Muḥammad ibn Isḥāq ibn Yasār, the author of the sīrah - and he is reliable in ḥadīth when he explicitly states transmission, as he has done here, so the ḥadīth is established, and all praise is due to Allāh. Al-Haythamī said (4/140): "It was narrated by Aḥmad and al-Bazzār, and the isnād of Aḥmad is authentic!" And Shaykh al-Aʿẓamī transmitted it in his commentary on "al-Kashf" and affirmed it!
