حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ ، عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مَاهَكَ ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ ، قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، يَأْتِينِي الرَّجُلُ فَيُرِيدُ مِنِّي الْبَيْعَ لَيْسَ عِنْدِي أَفَأَبْتَاعُهُ لَهُ مِنَ السُّوقِ . فَقَالَ : لَا تَبِعْ مَا لَيْسَ عِنْدَكَ " .
