٤٦٤٨ - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنْ أَبِي عُمَيْسٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْأَشْعَثِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِذَا اخْتَلَفَ الْبَيِّعَانِ وَلَيْسَ بَيْنَهُمَا بَيِّنَةٌ فَهُوَ مَا يَقُولُ رَبُّ السِّلْعَةِ أَوْ يَتْرُكَا».

Commentary
Quoting the price is the owner's right. If the buyer consents to it, well and good! Otherwise, the deal would not be concluded. If a disagreement occurs that according to the buyer, the transaction was concluded upon a lower price, and the seller says that the deal was concluded upon a higher price, in such an eventuality, if there is any witness to the deal, the verdict would be given in accordance with the witness. If there is no witness, the seller would be made to swear an oath in the capacity as a defendant. If he swears an oath, the buyer would have the option to concede to his swearing, or he might swear an oath against him.
