Hadith 27181
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي زَيْدُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ , أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اسْتَسْلَفَ مِنْ رَجُلٍ بَكْرًا ، فَأَتَتْهُ إِبِلٌ مِنْ إِبِلِ الصَّدَقَةِ ، فَقَالَ : " أَعْطُوهُ " ، فَقَالُوا : لَا نَجِدُ لَهُ إِلَّا رَبَاعِيًا خِيَارًا ؟ قَالَ : " أَعْطُوهُ ، فَإِنَّ خِيَارَ النَّاسِ أَحْسَنُهُمْ قَضَاءً " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) took a camel on loan from a Bedouin. The Bedouin came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) to demand his camel. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said to the companions: “Find a camel of the same age as his and bring it.” The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) searched but could not find a camel of the required age; every camel was older than that. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Then give him an older camel. The best among you is the one who is best in repaying debts.”
