Mukhtasar Bukhari (Abridged) 1066 — Appointing an agent to pay a debt

Narrated Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him): A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) demanding his camel, and he spoke harshly to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) intended to harm him, but the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Leave him, for the one who has a right speaks in this manner." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Give him a camel of the same age as his." The people said: "We do not have one of that age, but we have a better one." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Give him that, for the best among you is the one who repays debts in the best manner."
