Narrated Yala ibn Umayyah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: When my messengers come to you, give them thirty coats of mail, and thirty camels. I asked: Messenger of Allah, is it a loan with a guarantee of its return, or a loan to be paid back? He replied: It is a loan to be paid back.

«أخرجه أحمد:4 /222، وأبوداود، البيوع، باب في تضمين العارية، حديث:3566، وابن حبان (الإحسان):7 /109، حديث:4700، قتادة عنعن.»©Explanation:
The aforementioned narration has been declared weak in its chain of transmission by our esteemed researcher, whereas the scholars who verified Musnad Ahmad have deemed it authentic and have discussed it in detail, from which their opinion appears to be closer to correctness.
Therefore, despite the aforementioned narration being weak in its chain, it is still actionable.
And Allah knows best.
