حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَقِيلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُتَوَكِّلِ النَّاجِيُّ ، قَالَ : أَتَيْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ حَدِّثْنِي بِمَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : سَافَرْتُ مَعَهُ فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ ، قَالَ أَبُو عَقِيلٍ : لَا أَدْرِي غَزْوَةً أَوْ عُمْرَةً فَلَمَّا أَنْ أَقْبَلْنَا ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَتَعَجَّلَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَلْيُعَجِّلْ ، قَالَ جَابِرٌ : فَأَقْبَلْنَا وَأَنَا عَلَى جَمَلٍ لِي أَرْمَكَ لَيْسَ فِيهِ شِيَةٌ وَالنَّاسُ خَلْفِي فَبَيْنَا أَنَا كَذَلِكَ إِذْ قَامَ عَلَيَّ ، فَقَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَا جَابِرُ اسْتَمْسِكْ فَضَرَبَهُ بِسَوْطِهِ ضَرْبَةً فَوَثَبَ الْبَعِيرُ مَكَانَهُ ، فَقَالَ : أَتَبِيعُ الْجَمَلَ ، قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ وَدَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَسْجِدَ فِي طَوَائِفِ أَصْحَابِهِ فَدَخَلْتُ إِلَيْهِ ، وَعَقَلْتُ الْجَمَلَ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْبَلَاطِ ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ : هَذَا جَمَلُكَ فَخَرَجَ فَجَعَلَ يُطِيفُ بِالْجَمَلِ ، وَيَقُولُ الْجَمَلُ : جَمَلُنَا فَبَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوَاقٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ ، فَقَالَ : أَعْطُوهَا جَابِرًا ثُمَّ ، قَالَ : اسْتَوْفَيْتَ الثَّمَنَ ، قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : الثَّمَنُ وَالْجَمَلُ لَكَ " .
Narrated Muslim from Abu `Aqil from Abu Al-Mutawakkil An-Naji: I called on Jabir bin `Abdullah Al-Ansari and said to him, "Relate to me what you have heard from Allah's Apostle ." He said, "I accompanied him on one of the journeys." (Abu `Aqil said, "I do not know whether that journey was for the purpose of Jihad or `Umra.") "When we were returning," Jabir continued, "the Prophet said, 'Whoever wants to return earlier to his family, should hurry up.' We set off and I was on a black red tainted camel having no defect, and the people were behind me. While I was in that state the camel stopped suddenly (because of exhaustion). On that the Prophet said to me, 'O Jabir, wait!' Then he hit it once with his lash and it started moving on a fast pace. He then said, 'Will you sell the camel?' I replied in the affirmative when we reached Medina, and the Prophet went to the Mosque along with his companions. I, too, went to him after tying the camel on the pavement at the Mosque gate. Then I said to him, 'This is your camel.' He came out and started examining the camel and saying, 'The camel is ours.' Then the Prophet sent some Awaq (i.e. an amount) of gold saying, 'Give it to Jabir.' Then he asked, 'Have you taken the full price (of the camel)?' I replied in the affirmative. He said, 'Both the price and the camel are for you.' ''

Hadith Commentary:
In the narration of Imam Ahmad rahimahullah, it is stated that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, “Sit him down.” I made him sit. Then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, “Give me that stick.” I gave it, and he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam struck him several times with that stick. After that, he said, “Mount (the camel).”
I mounted it.
The chapter heading is derived from here, as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam struck someone else’s camel, i.e., Jabir’s camel.
“Balat” refers to the stone pavement in front of the mosque.
This journey was that of the Expedition of Tabuk.
Ibn Ishaq has mentioned it as the Expedition of Dhat al-Riqa.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
In a narration of Musnad Ahmad, it is mentioned that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said to me:
"Make your camel sit down."
I made it sit, then he said:
"Give me a stick."
I handed the stick to him, and he struck the camel several times with it.
After that, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
"Now mount it."
So I mounted it.
(Musnad Ahmad 1/375, 376)
➋
Imam al-Bukhari (rahimahullah) has established that, due to some benefit, it is permissible to strike another's mount.
This is neither oppression nor excess.
It should be noted that this journey was on the return from the expedition of Tabuk,
as is explicitly mentioned in some narrations.

Takhrij:
«أخرجه البخاري، الجهاد، باب من ضرب دابة غيره في الغزو، حديث:2861، ومسلم، المساقاة، باب بيع البعير واستثناء ركوبه، حديث:715 بعد حديث:1599.»©Explanation:
➊ From this hadith, it is understood that it is permissible to request someone, on one’s own initiative, to sell a particular item to him.
➋ It is also permissible to fix a price and to stipulate a condition regarding the price.
➌ If it is a riding animal, it is permissible to stipulate the condition that “I will ride it up to my house,” provided there is no fear of any kind of harm in this; or if it is a residential property, it is permissible for the buyer to stipulate a condition for residence for a certain period.
When ‘Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) sold a house, he also stipulated with the buyer the condition of residence for one month.
(Sabil al-Salam)
➍ It is also inferred from this hadith that one should not take advantage of one’s influence or position to reduce the price of something.
➎ The Prophetic example also establishes that one should act with selflessness (ithar) and be considerate of one’s brother’s circumstances.
➏ The miracle of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) regarding the swift speed of the camel is also established.
