Arabic Text

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعِيدٍ - عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا، حَدَّثَنَا عَامِرٌ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ بِعْتُهُ - يَعْنِي بَعِيرَهُ - مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَاشْتَرَطْتُ حُمْلاَنَهُ إِلَى أَهْلِي قَالَ فِي آخِرِهِ ‏ "‏ تُرَانِي إِنَّمَا مَاكَسْتُكَ لأَذْهَبَ بِجَمَلِكَ خُذْ جَمَلَكَ وَثَمَنَهُ فَهُمَا لَكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

English Translation

Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah :

I sold it, that is, camel, to the Prophet (ﷺ), but I made the stipulation that I should be allowed to ride it to home. At the end he (the Prophet) said: Do you think that I made this transaction with you so that I take your camel ? Take your camel and its price; both are yours.
