1213. ‘Aīshah narrated: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was wearing
two thick Qitri[1] garments on. When he would sit, he would sweat since they were so heavy for him. Some clothes arrived from Ash-Shām for so-and-so, the Jew. I said: 'Perhaps you could dispatch a request to him to buy some garments (on credit) from him until it is easy (to pay). So he sent a message to him and he said: 'I know what he wants. He only wants to take away my wealth' or 'my Dirham.' So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'He has lied, indeed he knows that I am the one with the most Taqwā among them, and the best at fulfilling trusts among them.'" (Saḥīḥ)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Ibn 'Abbās, Anas, and Asmā' bint Yazid.
[Abū 'Eisā said:] The Hadīth of 'Aīshah is a Hasan Saḥīḥ Gharīb Hadīth. Shu'bah has also reported it from 'Umārah bin Abī Hafṣah.
He said: I heard Muḥammad bin Firās Al-Baṣrī saying: "I heard Abū Dāwūd Aṭ-Tayālīsī saying: 'One day Shu'bah was asked about this Hadīth, and he said: "I will not narrate it to you (people) until you stand up before Haramī bin 'Umārah [bin Hafṣah] to kiss his head." He said: 'And Haramī was there among the people.'"
[Abū 'Eisā said:] meaning: "approving of this Hadīth."

Commentary
The Jews were well aware of the honesty of character of the Prophet ﷺ but as they were resentful, they always talked ill of him.
