حَدَّثَنَامحمد ابْنُ مُقَاتِلٍ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ کُهَيْلٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ أَخَذَ سِنًّا فَجَائَ صَاحِبُهُ يَتَقَاضَاهُ فَقَالُوا لَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ لِصَاحِبِ الْحَقِّ مَقَالًا ثُمَّ قَضَاهُ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ سِنِّهِ وَقَالَ أَفْضَلُکُمْ أَحْسَنُکُمْ قَضَائً
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 2609
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet took a camel of special age from somebody on credit. Its owner came and demanded it back (harshly). The Prophet said, "No doubt, he who has a right, can demand it." Then the Prophet gave him an older camel than his camel and said, "The best amongst you is he who repays his debts in the most handsome way."
