وَعَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ: { أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -أَنْ أَبِيعَ غُلَامَيْنِ أَخَوَيْنِ, فَبِعْتُهُمَا, فَفَرَّقْتُ بَيْنَهُمَا، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -فَقَالَ: أَدْرِكْهُمَا, فَارْتَجِعْهُمَا, وَلَا تَبِعْهُمَا إِلَّا جَمِيعًا } رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ, وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ, وَقَدْ صَحَّحَهُ اِبْنُ خُزَيْمَةَ, وَابْنُ اَلْجَارُودِ, وَابْنُ حِبَّانَ, وَالْحَاكِمُ, وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ, وَابْنُ اَلْقَطَّانِ 1 .

Narrated 'Ali bin Abu Talib (RA):
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) commanded me to sell two youths who were brothers. I sold them and separated them (by selling them to different people). When I made mention of that to the Prophet (ﷺ), he said, "Find them and get them back, and do not sell them except that they are together." [Reported by Ahmad, and the narrators of his chain are reliable. Indeed Ibn Khuzaimah, Ibn al-Jarud, Ibn Hibban, al-Hakim, at-Tabarani and Ibn Qattan graded it Sahih (authentic)].
Reported by Ahmad (No. 721, 994). Cited in Bulugh al-Maram (No. 811).
