3346. It was narrated that Abū Rāfi‘ said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ borrowed a young camel, then the Sadaqah (Zakāt) camels were brought, and he told me to pay the man back for his camel. I said: ‘I cannot find anything among the camels but one that is of high quality, in its seventh year.’ The Prophet ﷺ said to him: ‘Give it to him, for the best of people are those who are best in paying off their debts.’” (Sahih)

Arabic text

3346 - حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، قَالَ: اسْتَسْلَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَكْرًا ، فَجَاءَتْهُ إِبِلٌ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ، فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَقْضِيَ الرَّجُلَ بَكْرَهُ، فَقُلْتُ: لَمْ أَجِدْ فِي الْإِبِلِ إِلَّا جَمَلًا خِيَارًا رَبَاعِيًا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَعْطِهِ إِيَّاهُ، فَإِنَّ خِيَارَ النَّاسِ أَحْسَنُهُمْ قَضَاءً»
