Mishkat al-Masabih #2833

Business Transactions

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

وَعَن أُميَّة بن صَفْوَان عَنْ أَبِيهِ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اسْتَعَارَ مِنْهُ أَدْرَاعَهُ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ فَقَالَ: أَغَصْبًا يَا مُحَمَّدَ؟ قَالَ: «بَلْ عَارِيَةً مَضْمُونَةً» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
Umayya b. Safwan quoted his father as saying that at the battle of Hunain the Prophet borrowed his coats of mail and he asked, “Are you taking them by force, Muhammad ?” to which he replied, “No, it is a loan with a guarantee of their return.'’ Abu Dawud transmitted it.
