Sahih al-Bukhari 2393
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ كَانَ لِرَجُلٍ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم سِنٌّ مِنَ الإِبِلِ فَجَاءَهُ يَتَقَاضَاهُ فَقَالَ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَعْطُوهُ ". فَطَلَبُوا سِنَّهُ، فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا لَهُ إِلاَّ سِنًّا فَوْقَهَا. فَقَالَ " أَعْطُوهُ ". فَقَالَ أَوْفَيْتَنِي، وَفَّى اللَّهُ بِكَ. قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّ خِيَارَكُمْ أَحْسَنُكُمْ قَضَاءً ".
Abu Nu'aym narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us, from Salama, from Abu Salama, from Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: A man was owed a camel of a particular age by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he came to demand it. The Prophet said, ‘Give him one.’ They looked for a camel of that age but found only one older. He said, ‘Give it to him.’ The man said, ‘You have fulfilled my due; may Allah fulfill your due.’ The Prophet said, ‘The best of you are those who repay in the best manner.’
