It was narrated that Umm Salamah said: Abu Bakr went out to trade in Busra; one year before the Prophet died; and with him were Nuaiman and Suwaibit the sons of Harmalah; who had been present at Badr. Nuaiman was in charge of the provisions; and Suwaibit was a man who joked a lot. He said to Nuaiman: Feed me. He said: Not until Abu Bakr comes. He said: Then I will have to annoy you. Then they passed by some people; and Suwaibit said to them: Will you buy a slave from me? They said: Yes. He said He is a slave who talks a lot and he will tell you; I am a free man. If you are going to let him go when he says that to you; do not bother buying him. They said: We will buy him from you. So they bought him from him in return for ten young camels; then they brought him and tied a turban or a rope around his neck. Nuaiman said: This man is making fun of you. I am a free man; not a slave. They said: He has already told us about you; and they took him off. Then Abu Bakr came and he Suwaibit told him about that. So he followed those people and returned their camels to them; and took Nuaiman back. When they came to the Prophet they told him what had happened; and the Prophet and his companions laughed about it for a year.
