حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اسْتَقْرَضَ مِنْ رَجُلٍ بَعِيرًا، فَجَاءَ يَتَقَاضَاهُ بَعِيرَهُ، فَقَالَ: " اطْلُبُوا لَهُ بَعِيرًا، فَادْفَعُوهُ إِلَيْهِ " فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا إِلَّا سِنًّا فَوْقَ سِنِّهِ، فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، لَمْ نَجِدْ إِلَّا سِنًّا فَوْقَ سِنِّ بَعِيرِهِ. فَقَالَ: " أَعْطُوهُ، فَإِنَّ خِيَارَكُمْ أَحَاسِنُكُمْ قَضَاءً " (٢)،

English translation
It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Bedouin came to the service of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) to demand his camel. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said to the companions (may Allah be pleased with them), "Find a camel of the same age as his and bring it." The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) searched but could not find a camel of the required age; every camel was older than that. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Then give him an older camel." The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The best among you is the one who is best in repaying debts."
