4622. It was narrated that Abû Hurairah said: "A man had lent a camel of a certain age to the Prophet ﷺ and he came to get it back. He said: "Give it to him." But they could only find a camel that was older than it. He said: "Give it to him." He said: "You have repaid me well." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The best of you is the one who is best in repaying." (Sahīh)
4618 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: كَانَ لِرَجُلٍ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سِنٌّ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ، فَجَاءَ يَتَقَاضَاهُ، فَقَالَ: «أَعْطُوهُ». فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا إِلَّا سِنًّا فَوْقَ سِنِّهِ قَالَ: «أَعْطُوهُ»، فَقَالَ: أَوْفَيْتَنِي، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ خِيَارَكُمْ أَحْسَنُكُمْ قَضَاءً»

'A camel of a particular age': He was due a young camel below six years of age. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ gave him a camel of six years of age. In other words, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ gave him a pretty good and an expensive camel in return.
