حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ عَمْرٌو كَانَ هَا هُنَا رَجُلٌ اسْمُهُ نَوَّاسٌ، وَكَانَتْ عِنْدَهُ إِبِلٌ هِيمٌ، فَذَهَبَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ فَاشْتَرَى تِلْكَ الإِبِلَ مِنْ شَرِيكٍ لَهُ، فَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ شَرِيكُهُ فَقَالَ بِعْنَا تِلْكَ الإِبِلَ. فَقَالَ مِمَّنْ بِعْتَهَا قَالَ مِنْ شَيْخٍ، كَذَا وَكَذَا. فَقَالَ وَيْحَكَ ذَاكَ ـ وَاللَّهِ ـ ابْنُ عُمَرَ. فَجَاءَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ شَرِيكِي بَاعَكَ إِبِلاً هِيمًا، وَلَمْ يَعْرِفْكَ. قَالَ فَاسْتَقْهَا. قَالَ فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ يَسْتَاقُهَا فَقَالَ دَعْهَا، رَضِينَا بِقَضَاءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لاَ عَدْوَى. سَمِعَ سُفْيَانُ عَمْرًا.

Ali narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us, saying: Amr said: “There was a man here named Nawwas who had camels afflicted with unquenchable thirst. Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, went and bought those camels from a partner of his. His partner came to him and said that they had sold those camels. He asked to whom he had sold them. The partner said, to a certain old man. He said, woe to you, by Allah that was Ibn Umar. Nawwas went to Ibn Umar and said that his partner had sold him camels afflicted with unquenchable thirst without recognizing him. Ibn Umar said, take them back. When Nawwas went to drive them away, Ibn Umar said, leave them. We are content with the judgment of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him: there is no contagion.” Sufyan heard this from Amr.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The term إبل هيم describes camels with a disease marked by unquenchable thirst. The closing لا عدوى is translated as no contagion, following the Arabic wording.
لاَ عَدْوَى
The English witness renders this as no oppression, but the Arabic says no contagion.
None; the Arabic text is followed.
