١٢٣٨ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَمَّارٍ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ - وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَرْطَاةَ - عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْحَيَوَانُ اثْنَانِ بِوَاحِدٍ لَا يَصْلُحُ نَسِيئًا، وَلَا بَأْسَ بِهِ يَدًا بِيَدٍ». هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ.

Commentary
There is a narration in Sahih Al-Bukhari that the Prophet ﷺ bought a camel on credit from a Bedouin and later on returned a better camel to him. Imām Bukhari has written a 'Chapter on Loan of Camels'. It proves that an animal can be bartered on credit. According to Hāfiz Ibn Hajar most of the people of knowledge act upon this narration.
