حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ فَارِسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي عُمَيْسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ قَيْسِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْأَشْعَثِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَدِّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اشْتَرَى الْأَشْعَثُ رَقِيقًا مِنْ رَقِيقِ الْخُمْسِ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بِعِشْرِينَ أَلْفًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَرْسَلَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْهِ فِي ثَمَنِهِمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّمَا أَخَذْتُهُمْ بِعَشَرَةِ آلَافٍ. فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ:‏‏‏‏ فَاخْتَرْ رَجُلًا يَكُونُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ الْأَشْعَثُ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْتَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ نَفْسِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ:‏‏‏‏ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ إِذَا اخْتَلَفَ الْبَيِّعَانِ وَلَيْسَ بَيْنَهُمَا بَيِّنَةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَهُوَ مَا يَقُولُ رَبُّ السِّلْعَةِ أَوْ يَتَتَارَكَانِ .
