حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو کُرَيْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا وَکِيعٌ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ کُهَيْلٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ اسْتَقْرَضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سِنًّا فَأَعْطَی سِنًّا فَوْقَهُ وَقَالَ خِيَارُکُمْ مَحَاسِنُکُمْ قَضَائً
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 4111
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) owed (something) to a person. He behaved in an uncivil manner with him. This vexed the Companions of the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), whereupon Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: He who has a right is entitled to speak, and said to them (his Companions): Buy a camel for him and give that to him. They said: We do not find a camel (of that age) but one with better age than that. He said: Buy that and give that to him, for best of you or best amongst you are those who are best in paying off debt.
