3511. 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Qais bin Muḥammad bin Al-Ash'ath narrated from his father, that his grandfather said: "Al-Ash'ath bought some of the slaves of the Khums from 'Abdullāh for twenty thousand. 'Abdullāh sent word to him asking for their price, and he said: 'I only bought them for ten thousand.' 'Abdullāh said: 'Choose a man to arbitrate between you and I.' Al-Ash'ath said: 'You yourself may arbitrate between you and I.' Abdullah said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: "If the two parties to a transaction disagree, and there is no proof, then what the seller of the goods says is what counts, or they may cancel the transaction."'" (Hasan)

3511 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ فَارِسٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ أَبِي عُمَيْسٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ قَيْسِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْأَشْعَثِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: اشْتَرَى الْأَشْعَثُ رَقِيقًا مِنْ رَقِيقِ الْخُمْسِ، مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بِعِشْرِينَ أَلْفًا فَأَرْسَلَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْهِ فِي ثَمَنِهِمْ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّمَا أَخَذْتُهُمْ بِعَشَرَةِ آلَافٍ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ: فَاخْتَرْ رَجُلًا يَكُونُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ، قَالَ الْأَشْعَثُ: أَنْتَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ نَفْسِكَ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ: فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «إِذَا اخْتَلَفَ الْبَيِّعَانِ وَلَيْسَ بَيْنَهُمَا بَيِّنَةٌ فَهُوَ مَا يَقُولُ رَبُّ السِّلْعَةِ، أَوْ يَتَتَارَكَانِ»،
