Khuzayma said: “I testify that you sold it to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace.” The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, asked him: “How did you know?” He said: “You bring us revelation from heaven, and we believe you.” The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, therefore made his testimony equal to that of two men.
