حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، عَنْ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ عُتَيْبَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ أَبِيعَ غُلَامَيْنِ أَخَوَيْنِ فَبِعْتُهُمَا فَفَرَّقْتُ بَيْنَهُمَا فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَدْرِكْهُمَا فَارْتَجِعْهُمَا وَلَا تَبِعْهُمَا إِلَّا جَمِيعًا وَلَا تُفَرِّقْ بَيْنَهُمَا.
Abd al-Wahhab told us, on the authority of Sa`id, on the authority of a man, on the authority of al-Hakam ibn Utaiba, on the authority of Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Laila, on the authority of Ali, that he said The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, ordered me to sell two young brothers, so I sold them and separated them. I mentioned that to the Prophet. May God’s prayers and peace be upon him, and he said, “Catch them and take them back, and do not sell them except all together, and do not separate them.”
