2099. Narrated ‘Amr: Here (i.e., in Makkah) there was a man called Nawwās and he had camels suffering from a disease causing excessive and unquenchable thirst. Ibn ‘Umar رضي الله عنهما went to the partner of Nawwās and bought those camels. The man returned to Nawwās and told him that he had sold those camels. Nawwās asked him, “To whom have you sold them?” He replied, “To such and such Sheikh.” Nawwās said, “Woe to you; By Allāh, that Sheikh was Ibn ‘Umar.” Nawwās then went to Ibn ‘Umar and said to him, “My partner sold you camels suffering from a disease causing excessive thirst and he had not known you.” Ibn ‘Umar told him to take them back. When Nawwās went to take them, Ibn ‘Umar said to him, “Leave it as I am happy with the decision of Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ that there is no Adwā (i.e., no contagious disease is conveyed to others without Allāh’s Permission).”
