Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَلَمَةُ بْنُ كُهَيْلٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا تَقَاضَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعِيرًا فَقَالُوا مَا نَجِدُ إِلَّا أَفْضَلَ مِنْ سِنِّهِ فَقَالَ أَعْطُوهُ فَقَالَ أَوْفَيْتَنِي أَوْفَى اللَّهُ لَكَ قَالَ خِيَارُ النَّاسِ أَحْسَنُهُمْ قَضَاءً.
English Translation
Yahya narrated to us, from Sufyan, who said: Salamah ibn Kuhail narrated to me, from Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurairah, that a man came to demand repayment of a camel from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). They said: "We can only find one better than what he is owed." He said: "Give it to him." The man said: "You have paid me in full, may Allah fulfill for you." He said: "The best of people are those who are best in repayment."
