Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مَاهَكَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ قَالَ بَايَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى أَنْ لَا أَخِرَّ إِلَّا قَائِمًا قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الرَّجُلُ يَسْأَلُنِي الْبَيْعَ وَلَيْسَ عِنْدِي أَفَأَبِيعُهُ قَالَ لَا تَبِعْ مَا لَيْسَ عِنْدَكَ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far told us, Shu'bah told us, from Abu Bishr, from Yusuf ibn Mahak, narrating from Hakim ibn Hizam, who said: I pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, that I would not fall except while standing upright [i.e., remain steadfast]. He said: I said, "O Messenger of Allah, a man asks me to sell him something, and I do not have it with me; shall I sell it to him?" He said, "Do not sell what is not with you."
