عَنِ الْعِرْبَاضِ بْنِ سَارِيَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ بِعْتُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَكْرًا فَأَتَيْتُهُ أَتَقَاضَى فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اقْضِنِي ثَمَنَ بَكْرِي فَقَالَ أَجَلْ لَا أَقْضِيكَهَا إِلَّا نَجِيبَةً قَالَ فَقَضَانِي فَأَحْسَنَ قَضَائِي قَالَ وَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اقْضِنِي بَكْرِي فَأَعْطَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَمَلًا قَدْ أَسَنَّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ بَكْرِي قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ خَيْرَ الْقَوْمِ خَيْرُهُمْ قَضَاءً
It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Irbad bin Sariyah (may Allah be pleased with him), who says: I sold a camel to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then when I came to him to demand its price, I said: O Messenger of Allah! Please pay me the price of my camel. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, certainly, but I will not give you except a better camel than that. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) paid my debt and paid it well. Meanwhile, a Bedouin came and said: O Messenger of Allah! Pay me the price of my camel. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him a bigger camel. He said: O Messenger of Allah! This camel is better than my camel. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The best person of a people is the one who is best in repayment.
