[-/1] فروع الكافي: علي بن إبراهيم، عن محمد بن عيسى، عن يونس، عن معاوية بن وهب عن ابي عبدالله عليه السلام قال: كان البلاط حيث يصلى على الجنائز سوقا على عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله يسمى البطحاء يباع فيها الحليب والسمن والاقط وإن أعرابيا أتى بفرس له فأوثقه فاشتراه منه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله ثم دخل ليأتيه بالثمن فقام ناس من المنافقين فقالوا: بكم بعت فرسك؟ قال: بكذا وبكذا قالوا: بئس مابعت، فرسك خير من ذلك وإن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله خرج إليه بالثمن وافيا طيبا فقال الاعرابي: ما بعتك والله، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: سبحان الله بلى والله لقد بعتني، و ارتفعت الاصوات فقال الناس: رسول الله يقاول الاعرابي فاجتمع ناس كثير فقال أبوعبدالله عليه السلام: ومع النبي صلى الله عليه وآله أصحابه إذ أقبل خزيمة بن ثابت الانصاري ففرج الناس بيده حتى انتهى إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وآله فقال: أشهد يا رسول الله لقد اشتريته منه فقال الاعرابي أتشهد ولم تحضرنا؟ وقال له النبي صلى الله عليه وآله: أشهدتنا؟ فقال له: لا يا رسول الله ولكني علمت أنك قد اشتريت أفأصدقك بما جئت به من عند الله ولا اصدقك على هذا الاعرابي الخبيث قال: فعجب له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وقال: يا خزيمة شهادتك شهادة رجلين

1. [1/-] Furu al-Kafi: Ali b. Ibrahim from Muhammad b. Isa from Yunus from Muawiya b. Wahb from Abi Abdillah عليه السلام who said: al-Balat – wherein the prayers for the dead are prayed [in our times] – was an open market in the time of the messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وآله called al-Batha` in which was sold milk, butter-fat, and milk curds. Once a bedouin came with a horse and the messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وآله inspected it and bought it from him, then he entered inside to bring him the amount. A group of hypocrites who were around stood and said [to the bedouin]: how much did you sell it to him for? He said: at such and such price, they said: what a bad bargain, your horse is better than that. The messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وآله came out with the full agreed-upon price but the bedouin said: by Allah I have not sold it you, the messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وآله said: glory be to Allah! yes by Allah you have indeed sold it to me, and voices were raised, the people said: the messenger of Allah is arguing with a bedouin and a crowd gathered around, Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said: the prophet صلى الله عليه وآله was surrounded by his companions when Khuzayma b. Thabit al-Ansari approached, parted the people with his hand, until he reached the prophet صلى الله عليه وآله and said: I bear witness O messenger of Allah that you bought it from him, the bedouin said: how can you witness when you were not even present! The prophet said to him: did you witness it with your eyes? He said: no O messenger of Allah, but I know that you bought it from him – should I consider you truthful in that which you came with from Allah but then doubt your truthfulness over this nasty bedouin! He (al-Sadiq) said: the messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وآله was very pleased at that and said: O Khuzayma, your witness is equal to the witnessing of two men.
