It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Bedouin came to the service of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to demand his camel. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the companions (may Allah be pleased with them), "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 Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Then give him an older camel." The Bedouin said, "You have paid me in full, may Allah give you in full." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "The best among you is the one who is best in repaying debts."
