Is the story of Suwaybit and Nuayman authentic?

> Once Abu Bakr and some companions went on a trading expedition to > Busra. Various people on the trip were given fixed duties. Suwaybit > ibn Harmalah was made responsible for food and provisions. An-Nuayman > was among the group and on the way he became hungry and asked Suwaybit > for some food. Suwaybit refused and an-Nuayman said to him: “Do you > know what I would yet do with you?” and went on to warn and threaten > him but still Suwaybit refused. An-Nuayman then went to a group of > Arabs in the market and said to them: “Would you like to have a strong > and sturdy slave whom I can sell to you.” They said “of Course and > An-Nuayman went on: “He has a swift tongue and is very articulate. He > will resist you and say: ‘I am free.’ But don’t listen to him” The men > paid the price of the slave – ten pieces of gold and An-Nuayman > accepted it and appeared to complete the transaction with > business-like efficiency. The buyers accompanied him to fetch theft > purchase. > > Pointing to Suwaybit, he said: “This is the slave whom I sold to you.” > The men took hold of Suwaybit and he shouted for dear life and > freedom. “I am free”. I am Suwaybit ibn Harmalah…” But they paid no > attention to him and dragged him off by the neck in shackles as they > would have done with any slave. > > All the while, an-Nuayman did not laugh or batter an eyelid. He > remained completely calm and serious while Suwaybit continued to > protest bitterly. Suwaybit’s fellow travelers, realizing what was > happening, rushed to fetch Abu Bakr, the leader of the caravan, who > came running as fast as he could. He explained to the purchasers what > had happened and so they released Suwaybit and had their money > returned. Abu Bakr then laughed heartily and so did Suwaybit and > an-Nuayman. Back in Madinah, when the episode was recounted to the > Prophet and his companions, they all laughed even more. The above can be found online on; 1.
