حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَرْوَانَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الزَّنْجِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّ رَجُلًا ابْتَاعَ غُلَامًا فَأَقَامَ عِنْدَهُ مَا شَائَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُقِيمَ ثُمَّ وَجَدَ بِهِ عَيْبًا فَخَاصَمَهُ إِلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ اسْتَغَلَّ غُلَامِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْخَرَاجُ بِالضَّمَانِ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد هَذَا إِسْنَادٌ لَيْسَ بِذَاکَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3510
Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: A man bought a slave, and he remained with him as long as Allah wished him to remain. He then found defect in him. He brought his dispute with him to the Prophet ﷺ and he returned him to him. The man said: Messenger of Allah, my slave earned some wages. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said: Profit follows responsibility. Abu Dawud said: This chain of narrators (of this version) is not reliable.
