Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْخِرِّيتِ عَنْ أَبِي لَبِيدٍ قَالَ كَانَ عُرْوَةُ بْنُ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ الْبَارِقِيُّ نَازِلًا بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا فَحَدَّثَ عَنْهُ أَبُو لَبِيدٍ لُمَازَةُ بْنُ زَبَّارٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ قَالَ عَرَضَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَلَبٌ فَأَعْطَانِي دِينَارًا فَقَالَ أَيْ عُرْوَةُ ائْتِ الْجَلَبَ فَاشْتَرِ لَنَا شَاةً قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُ الْجَلَبَ فَسَاوَمْتُ
صَاحِبَهُ فَاشْتَرَيْتُ مِنْهُ شَاتَيْنِ بِدِينَارٍ فَجِئْتُ أَسُوقُهُمَا أَوْ قَالَ أَقُودُهُمَا فَلَقِيَنِي رَجُلٌ فَسَاوَمَنِي فَأَبِيعُهُ شَاةً بِدِينَارٍ فَجِئْتُ بِالدِّينَارِ وَجِئْتُ بِالشَّاةِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا دِينَارُكُمْ وَهَذِهِ شَاتُكُمْ قَالَ وَصَنَعْتَ كَيْفَ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ الْحَدِيثَ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَهُ فِي صَفْقَةِ يَمِينِهِ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي أَقِفُ بِكُنَاسَةِ الْكُوفَةِ فَأَرْبَحُ أَرْبَعِينَ أَلْفًا قَبْلَ أَنْ أَصِلَ إِلَى أَهْلِي وَكَانَ يَشْتَرِي الْجَوَارِيَ وَيَبِيعُ

English Translation
ʿUrwah ibn Abī al-Jaʿd al-Bāriqī narrated: A herd of livestock was presented to the Prophet ﷺ, and he gave me a dīnār and said: 'O ʿUrwah, go to the herd and buy us a sheep.' I went to the herd and bargained with the owner, and I bought two sheep for a dīnār. I came driving them — or he said: leading them — and a man met me and bargained with me, so I sold him one sheep for a dīnār. I came with the dīnār and the sheep and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, here is your dīnār and here is your sheep.' He said: 'How did you do that?' and I told him. He said: 'O Allah, bless him in the transactions of his right hand.' And ʿUrwah said: 'I have indeed seen myself standing in the market of al-Kūfah, and I would return to my family with forty thousand before I reached my home.'
