Jarir bin Hazim narrates: At the shop platform of Ayyub, an elderly man came and sat with us. He heard the people conversing, and he said: My master narrated a hadith to me from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I asked him: "What is his name?" He replied: Sayyiduna Qurrah bin Du'mus al-Numayri (may Allah be pleased with him). He narrates: I came to Madinah and presented myself before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and people were around him. I began trying to get close to him but was unable to, so I called out to him loudly: "O Messenger of Allah! Seek forgiveness for the boy from Numayr!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "May Allah Almighty forgive you." The narrator says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna al-Dahhak bin Qays (may Allah be pleased with him) as a zakah collector. When he returned, he came back with fine camels. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You went to Hilal bin Amir, Numayr bin Amir and Amir bin Rabi'ah and took the best of their wealth?" He said: "O Messenger of Allah! I heard you mentioning a military expedition, so I liked to bring you fine camels so that you could ride them and give them as mounts." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By Allah! What you left behind is dearer to me than what you have taken. Return them, and take from the middle grade of their wealth and their charities." The narrator says: I heard the Muslims call those camels "al-Masann al-Mujahidat" (the old warrior camels).
Ahmad and al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. Its chain contains a narrator who is not named, and the rest of its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
