وعن جابر بن عبد الله أنه كان على جمل له قد أعيى ، فأراد أن يسيبه قال: فلحقني النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم فدعا لي ، وضربه ، فسار سيرا لم يسر مثله ، فقال: « بعنيه بأوقية» قلت: لا ، ثم قال : « بعنيه » فبعته بأوقية ، واشترطت حملانه إلى أهلي ، فلما بلغت أتيته بالجمل ، فنقدني ثمنه ، ثم رجعت ، فأرسل في أثري ، فقال: «أتراني ماكستك لآخذ جملك؟ خذ جملك ودراهمك ، فهو لك» متفق عليه ، وهذا السياق لمسلم.
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah (RA): I was traveling on a camel of mine which had become exhausted, so I intended to let it go free. The Prophet (ﷺ) followed me and made supplication for me and struck it. Then, it went as it had never done before. He then said, "Sell it to me for on Uqiya." I replied, "No." He again said, "Sell it to me." So I sold it to him for one Uqiya. However I stipulated that I should be allowed to ride it home. Then when I reached (home), I took the camel to him and he paid me its price in cash. I then went back and he sent someone after me. (When I came), he said, "Do you think that I asked you to reduce the value of your camel's price to take it? Take your camel and your money, for it is yours." [Agreed upon; and this is Muslim's wording].

➋ It is also permissible to fix a price and to stipulate a condition regarding the price.

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.

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.

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,
