Hadith #549
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ كَانَ اسْمُهُ زَاهِرًا كَانَ يُهْدِي لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْهَدِيَّةَ مِنْ الْبَادِيَةِ فَيُجَهِّزُهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ زَاهِرًا بَادِيَتُنَا وَنَحْنُ حَاضِرُوهُ وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُحِبُّهُ وَكَانَ رَجُلًا دَمِيمًا فَأَتَاهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا وَهُوَ يَبِيعُ مَتَاعَهُ فَاحْتَضَنَهُ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَهُوَ لَا يُبْصِر
ُهُ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَرْسِلْنِي مَنْ هَذَا فَالْتَفَتَ فَعَرَفَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَجَعَلَ لَا يَأْلُو مَا أَلْصَقَ ظَهْرَهُ بِصَدْرِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ عَرَفَهُ وَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ يَشْتَرِي الْعَبْدَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِذًا وَاللَّهِ تَجِدُنِي كَاسِدًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَكِنْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ لَسْتَ بِكَاسِدٍ أَوْ قَالَ لَكِنْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَنْتَ غَالٍ

English Translation
Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us, Ma'mar narrated to us, from Thabit al-Bunani, from Anas (رضي الله عنه), that a man from the desert folk whose name was Zahir used to bring gifts from the countryside to the Prophet ﷺ, and the Prophet ﷺ would prepare provisions for him when he intended to leave. the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Zahir is our countryside man, and we are his city folk.' the Prophet ﷺ loved him, and he was an unattractive man. the Prophet ﷺ came to him while he was selling his goods and embraced him from behind. The man said: 'Let me go! Who is this?' Then he turned and recognized the Prophet ﷺ, and he kept pressing his back against the Prophet ﷺ's chest. the Prophet ﷺ began saying: 'Who will buy this slave?' The man said: 'O Messenger of Allah, you will find me an unsellable commodity.' the Prophet ﷺ said: 'But with Allah, you are not unsellable' — or he said: 'But with Allah, you are precious.'
