2306. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: A man came to the Prophet ﷺ demanding his debts and behaved rudely. The Companions of the Prophet ﷺ intended to harm him, but Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said (to them), “Leave him, for the creditor (i.e., owner of a right) has the right to speak.” Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ then said, “Give him a camel of the same age as that of his.” The people said, “O Allāh’s Messenger! There is only a camel that is older and better than his.” Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said, “Give (it to) him, for the best amongst you is he who pays the rights of others generously.”

٢٣٠٦ - حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ﵁: «أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَتَقَاضَاهُ فَأَغْلَظَ، فَهَمَّ بِهِ أَصْحَابُهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: دَعُوهُ، فَإِنَّ لِصَاحِبِ الْحَقِّ مَقَالًا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَعْطُوهُ سِنًّا مِثْلَ سِنِّهِ، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِلَّا أَمْثَلَ مِنْ سِنِّهِ، فَقَالَ: أَعْطُوهُ، فَإِنَّ مِنْ خَيْرِكُمْ أَحْسَنَكُمْ قَضَاءً.»
