حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْعِرْبَاضَ بْنَ سَارِيَةَ، قَالَ: بِعْتُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَكْرًا، فَأَتَيْتُهُ أَتَقَاضَاهُ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، اقْضِنِي ثَمَنَ بَكْرِي. فَقَالَ: " أَجَلْ لَا أَقْضِيكَهَا (٣) إِلَّا لُجَيْنِيَّةً " (٤) قَالَ: فَقَضَانِي، فَأَحْسَنَ قَضَائِي. قَالَ: وَجَاءَهُ أَعْرَابِيٌّ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، اقْضِنِي بَكْرِي، فَأَعْطَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ جَمَلًا قَدْ أَسَنَّ، فَقَالَ: يَا، ، رَسُولَ اللهِ، هَذَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ بَكْرِي، قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ خَيْرَ الْقَوْمِ خَيْرُهُمْ قَضَاءً " (١)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from ‘Irbaad bin Saariyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I sold a young camel to the Prophet (ﷺ). After some time, I went to the Prophet (ﷺ) to demand the price and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Please pay me the price of my camel." The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Very well, I will give you its price in silver." Thus, the Prophet (ﷺ) paid its price in the best manner. Shortly after, a Bedouin came and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Please give me my camel." The Prophet (ﷺ) gave him a mature camel. He said: "O Messenger of Allah! This is much better than my camel." The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "The best among people is the one who is best in payment."
