Volume 3, Book 34, Number 312:
Narrated 'Amr:
Here (i.e. in Mecca) there was a man called Nawwas and he had camels suffering from the disease
of excessive and unquenchable thirst. Ibn 'Umar went to the partner of Nawwas and bought those
camels. The man returned to Nawwas and told him that he had sold those camels. Nawwas asked
him, "To whom have you sold them?" He replied, "To such and such Sheikh." Nawwas said, "Woe to
you; By Allah, that Sheikh was Ibn 'Umar." Nawwas then went to Ibn 'Umar and said to him, "My
partner sold you camels suffering from the disease of excessive thirst and he had not known you."
Ibn 'Umar told him to take them back. When Nawwas went to take them, Ibn 'Umar said to him,
"Leave them there as I am happy with the decision of Allah's Apostle that there is no oppression . "
