حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ لَيْثٍ، صَاحِبُ الْكَرَابِيسِيِّ الْبَصْرِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَجِيدِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ قَالَ لِي الْعَدَّاءُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ هَوْذَةَ أَلاَ أُقْرِئُكَ كِتَابًا كَتَبَهُ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى . فَأَخْرَجَ لِي كِتَابًا " هَذَا مَا اشْتَرَى الْعَدَّاءُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ هَوْذَةَ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم اشْتَرَى مِنْهُ عَبْدًا أَوْ أَمَةً لاَ دَاءَ وَلاَ غَائِلَةَ وَلاَ خِبْثَةَ بَيْعَ الْمُسْلِمِ الْمُسْلِمَ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَبَّادِ بْنِ لَيْثٍ وَقَدْ رَوَى عَنْهُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْحَدِيثِ .

Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us: Abbad ibn Layth, the Basran cloth merchant, informed us: Abd al-Majid ibn Wahb narrated to us: al-Adda ibn Khalid ibn Hawdhah said to me: Shall I read you a document the Messenger of Allah wrote for me? I said: Yes. He brought out a document that read: This is what al-Adda ibn Khalid ibn Hawdhah purchased from Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah. He purchased from him a male or female slave, free of disease, treachery, and blameworthy defect. This is a Muslim's sale to another Muslim. Abu Isa said: This hadith is hasan gharib. We know it only through the narration of Abbad ibn Layth, and more than one hadith scholar reported this hadith from him.
