Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دُكَيْنٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ كَانَ لِرَجُلٍ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سِنٌّ مِنْ الْإِبِلِ فَجَاءَهُ يَتَقَاضَاهُ فَطَلَبُوا لَهُ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا إِلَّا سِنًّا فَوْقَ سِنِّهِ فَقَالَ أَعْطُوهُ فَقَالَ أَوْفَيْتَنِي أَوْفَى اللَّهُ لَكَ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ خِيَارَكُمْ أَحْسَنُكُمْ قَضَاءً.
English Translation
Abu Hurayrah narrated: A man had a camel of a certain age owed to him by the Prophet (peace be upon him). He came to demand payment. They searched but could only find a camel of an older age than what was owed. He said: "Give it to him." The man said: You have given me my full due; may Allah repay you in full. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "The best among you are those who are best in repaying their debts."
