وَعَن أبي رَافع قَالَ: اسْتَسْلَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَكْرًا فَجَاءَتْهُ إِبِلٌ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ قَالَ: أَبُو رَافِعٍ فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَقْضِيَ الرَّجُلَ بَكْرَهُ فَقُلْتُ: لَا أَجِدُ إِلَّا جَمَلًا خِيَارًا رَبَاعِيًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَعْطِهِ إِيَّاهُ فَإِنَّ خَيْرَ النَّاسِ أَحْسَنُهُمْ قَضَاءً» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم

Abu Rafi‘ reported: The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) borrowed a young camel. Some camels from the charity then came to him. Abu Rafi‘ said: He instructed me to repay the man with his young camel. I said: ‘I can find only a superior camel, four years old.’ The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) said: ‘Give it to him, for the best of people are those best in repaying.’ Muslim transmitted it.
