Buy two garments from him on credit.’ He sent, and the messenger came and said, ‘The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) has sent me to buy two garments from you on credit.’ He replied, ‘You know, by Allah, that the Prophet of Allah’s only intent is to take my two garments and then delay me in paying for them.’ The messenger returned to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and reported this. He said, ‘False! They know that I fear Allah in dealing with them, and I fulfil my trusts to them.’ On that day the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “It is better for any of you to wear patches of miscellaneous rags than to go into debt for what he does not have.” (Perhaps this phrase “on such a day” appears in Abu Nu‘aym’s al-Hilya (3/347), and the hadith is recorded by Imam Ahmad in al-Musnad (3/243), by Ibn Abi ‘Asim in al-Zuhd (26), and by al-Daylami in Musnad al-Firdaws (5/169) [no. 7848]; Ibn Abi Hatim comments in al-‘Ilal (1/377) after the hadith: “A weak report; Sulaiman ibn Sulaym and Sufyan al-Zayyat are unknown.”) And Allah is Most Knowing.

The following note from manuscript Q was mistakenly inserted into the main text and is appended here: “He narrated extensively from the Companions and others; he was among the best of Medina’s people and the most learned of his era. His father was killed in Egypt when he was a child, so his aunt raised him; he grew up under her care, distinguished and possessing many virtues.” Abu Rajā’ al-‘Uṭṭāridī: see his biography in Ṭabaqāt Ibn Sa‘d (7/138); Rijāl Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī (2/572); al-Tārīkh al-Kabīr (6/410); al-Jarḥ wa al-Ta‘dīl (6/303); al-Isti‘āb (4/1657); Rijāl Muslim (2/93); Siyar A‘lām al-Nubalā’ (4/253); al-Thiqāt of Ibn al-Ḥibbān (5/217); and Ṭabaqāt al-Ḥuffāẓ p. 32.
