CHAPTER: THE SELLING OF THE CAMEL AND STIPULATION OF RIDING ON IT  

No. 3886

Jabir b. 'Abdullah (Allaah be pleased with them) reported that he was travelling on his camel which had grown jaded, and he decided to let it off. When Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) met him and prayed for him and struck it, so it trotted as it had never trotted before. He said: Sell it to me for an 'uqaya. I said: No. He again said: Sell it to me. So I sold it to him for an 'uqaya, but made the stipulation that I should be allowed to ride back to my family. Then when I came to (my place) I took the camel to him and he paid me its price in ready money. I then went back and he sent: (someone) behind me (and as I came) he said: Do you see that I asked you to reduce price for buying your camel. Take your camel and your coins; these are yours.

Jabir b. 'Abdullah (Allaah be pleased with them) reported: I went on an expedition with Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam). He overtook me and I was on a water-carrying camel who had grown tired and did not walk (trot). He (the Prophet) said to me: What is the matter with your camel? I said: It is sick. He (the Prophet) stepped behind and drove it and prayed for it, and then it always moved ahead of other camels. He (then) said: How do you find your camel? I said: It is, by the grace of your prayer, all right. He said: Would you sell this (camel) to me? I felt shy (to say him," No" ) as we had no other camel for carrying water, but (later on) I said: Yes, and to I sold it to him on the condition that (I would be permitted) to ride it until I reached Madina. I said to him: Allaah's Messenger, I am newly married, so I asked his permission (to go ahead of the caravan). He permitted me, and I reached Medina well in advance of other people, until I reached my destination. There my maternal uncle met me and asked me about the camel, and I told him what I had done with regard to it. He reproved me in this connection. He (Jabir) said: When I asked his permission (to go ahead of the caravan) Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) inquired of me whether I had married a virgin or a non-virgin. I said to him: I have married a non-virgin. He said: Why did you not marry a virgin who would have played with you and you would have played with her? I said to him: Allaah's Messenger, my father died (or he fell as a martyr), and I have small sisters to (look after), so I did not like the idea that I should marry a woman who is like them and thus be not able to teach them manners and look after them properly. So I have married a non-virgin so that she should be able to look after them and teach them manners, When Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) came to Medina, I went to him in the morning with the camel. He paid me its price and returned that (the camel) to me.

He (the Prophet) said: I take it (for an 'uqiya of gold) and you reach Medina on it. As I reached Medina, Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said to Bilal: Give him an 'uqiya of gold and make some extra payment too. He (Jabir) said: He gave me an 'uqiya of gold and made an addition of a qirat.
