English translation

[4110] 120 - (1601) It was narrated that Abû Hurairah said: "A man was owed something by the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and he spoke to him in a harsh manner, so the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ wanted to go after him. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'The one who has a right is entitled to speak.' And he said to them: 'Buy a camel for him and give it to him.' They said: 'We cannot find anything but a camel that is better than his.' He said: 'Buy it and give it to him, for among the best of you' - or 'the best of you' - 'are those who are the best in paying off debts.'"

120 - (1601) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ الْعَبْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: كَانَ لِرَجُلٍ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَقٌّ، فَأَغْلَظَ لَهُ، فَهَمَّ بِهِ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ لِصَاحِبِ الْحَقِّ مَقَالًا»، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «اشْتَرُوا لَهُ سِنًّا، فَأَعْطُوهُ إِيَّاهُ»، فَقَالُوا: إِنَّا لَا نَجِدُ إِلَّا سِنًّا هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ سِنِّهِ، قَالَ: «فَاشْتَرُوهُ، فَأَعْطُوهُ إِيَّاهُ، فَإِنَّ مِنْ خَيْرِكُمْ، أَوْ خَيْرَكُمْ أَحْسَنُكُمْ قَضَاءً»
