حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ شُمَيْطِ بْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَخْضَرُ بْنُ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحَنَفِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَاعَ حِلْسًا وَقَدَحًا وَقَالَ ‏

"‏ مَنْ يَشْتَرِي هَذَا الْحِلْسَ وَالْقَدَحَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَخَذْتُهُمَا بِدِرْهَمٍ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ مَنْ يَزِيدُ عَلَى دِرْهَمٍ مَنْ يَزِيدُ عَلَى دِرْهَمٍ ‏"‏ فَأَعْطَاهُ رَجُلٌ دِرْهَمَيْنِ فَبَاعَهُمَا مِنْهُ

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sold a saddle blanket and a drinking bowl. He (ﷺ) said: "Who will buy saddle blanket and drinking bowl ?". So a man said: "I will take them for a Dirham." So the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Who will give more than a Dirham ? Who will give more that a Dirham ?" A man agreed to give him two Dirham, so he sold them to him.

[Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan. We do not know of it except from the narration of Al-Akhdar bin 'Ajlan, and 'Abdullah Al-Hanafi who is reporting from Anas, is Abu Bakr Al-Hanafi.

This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge, they did not see any harm in auctioning the spolis of war and inheritance.

Al-Mu'tamir bin Sulaiman and others among the people of Hadith reported from Al-Akhdar bin 'Ajlan.

Reported by At-Tirmidhi (No. 1218).

Al-Mubarakfuri — Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi

قَوْلُهُ : ( بَاعَ حِلْسًا ) بِكَسْرِ الْحَاءِ الْمُهْمَلَةِ وَسُكُونِ اللَّامِ , كِسَاءٌ يُوضَعُ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الْبَعِيرِ تَحْتَ الْقَتَبِ لَا يُفَارِقُهُ. وَالْحِلْسُ الْبِسَاطُ أَيْضًا. وَمِنْهُ : كُنْ حِلْسَ بَيْتِك حَتَّى تَأْتِيَك يَدٌ خَاطِئَةٌ أَوْ مِيتَةٌ قَاضِيَةٌ ( وَقَدَحًا ) بِفَتْحَتَيْنِ أَيْ أَرَادَ بَيْعَهُمَا وَقَضِيَّتُهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَدَقَةً. فَقَالَ لَهُ : هَلْ لَك شَيْءٌ ؟ فَقَالَهُ : لَيْسَ لِي إِلَّا حِلْسٌ وَقَدَحٌ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " بِعْهُمَا وَكُلْ ثَمَنَهُمَا ثُمَّ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لَك شَيْءٌ فَسَلْ الصَّدَقَةَ ". فَبَاعَهُمَا صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَذَا ف…
