It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that we were returning from Makkah to Madinah with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). My camel became exhausted, so I fell behind, driving it along. the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was at the rear of the caravan because of some need. He caught up with me and asked: "Why have you fallen behind?" I said: O Messenger of Allah! My camel has become exhausted and started limping, and I am trying to bring it up to the caravan. The narrator says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took hold of its tail, struck it, and then urged it on with a shout, and said: "Now mount." After that I found myself holding that camel back from getting ahead of the people. Then we stopped at a place near Madinah, and I wanted to hurry to my family, whereupon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Do not go to your family (suddenly) at night." I said: O Messenger of Allah! I have only recently married. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Whom have you married?" I said: A previously married woman. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Why did you not marry a virgin girl, so that you could play with her and she could play with you?" I said: (My father) Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) died, or was martyred, and left my sisters behind, so I disliked bringing them a young girl just like them. At this he (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent and said to me neither 'well done' nor 'you did wrong'. Then he said to me: "Sell me this camel of yours." I said: No, rather, O Messenger of Allah, it is yours. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No, rather sell it to me." I said again: No, rather it is yours. But he (peace and blessings be upon him) said again: "No, sell it to me." I said: I owe a man one uqiyah of gold; so for that price the camel is yours. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have bought it; now ride it until you reach Madinah." When I reached Madinah, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him): "Give him one uqiyah of gold and give him something extra as well." He gave me one uqiyah of gold and added a qirat. I said to myself: This extra given by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) will never part from me. So it remained safe with me in a purse until, on the day of al-Harrah, the people of Syria seized it.
