2285. It was narrated from Abu Râfi' that the Prophet ﷺ asked a man to give as a loan a young camel and said: "When the camels of the Sadaqah come, we will pay you back." When the camels came, he said: "O Abu Râfi', pay this man back for his young camel." But all I could find was a seven-year-old camel or that which is better. I told the Prophet ﷺ and he said: "Give it to him, for the best of people are those who are best in repaying." (Sahih)

Arabic text

2285 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اسْتَسْلَفَ مِنْ رَجُلٍ بَكْرًا، وَقَالَ: «إِذَا جَاءَتْ إِبِلُ الصَّدَقَةِ قَضَيْنَاكَ» ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَتْ، قَالَ: «يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ اقْضِ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ بَكْرَهُ» ، فَلَمْ أَجِدْ إِلَّا رَبَاعِيًا فَصَاعِدًا، فَأَخْبَرْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «أَعْطِهِ، فَإِنَّ خَيْرَ النَّاسِ أَحْسَنُهُمْ قَضَاءً»

Commentary

Selling and buying on absolute interest free credit (according to Islamic terms and conditions) is allowed. b. Returning a better animal than the one taken is allowed; provided it is not conditioned before, and the payer is giving with his own pleasure, and the recipient does not ask for. c. As for the cash, the borrowed amount is to be returned only; no increase in it is allowed.
