No. 3896

Abu Rafi' reported that Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) took from a man as a loan a young camel (below six years). Then the camels of Sadaqa were brought to him. He ordered Abu Rafi' to return to that person the young camel (as a return of the loan). Abu Rafi' returned to him and said: I did not find among them but better camels above the age of six. He (the Prophet) said: Give that to him for the best men are those who are best in paying off the debt.

Abu Rafi', the freed slave of Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam), said: Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) took as a loan (the rest of the hadith is the same), but with this variation that he (the Prophet) said: Good amongst the servants of Allaah is he who is best in paying off the debt.

Abu Huraira (Allaah be pleased with him) reported: Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) owed (something) to a person. He behaved in an uncivil manner with him.

They said: We do not find a camel (of that age) but one with better age than that. He said: Buy that and give that to him, for best of you or best amongst you are those who are best in paying off debt.
