4641. It was narrated that Jâbir bin ‘Abdullâh said: “I was with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey, and my camel got tired. I thought I wanted to let it go; but the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ met me and prayed for it (the camel) and hit it. Then it started to run like never before. He said: ‘Sell it to me for one Uwqiyah.’ I said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘Sell it to me.’ So I sold it to him for one Uwqiyah but stipulated an exception, to ride it until we reached Al-Madinah. When we reached Al-Madinah, I brought the camel to him and asked him for its price, then I went back. He sent word to me saying: ‘Do you think I bargained with you to take your camel?’ Take your camel and your Dirhams.” (Sahih)

Commentary
Allâh’s Messenger ﷺ wanted to extend the hand of cooperation toward Jâbir ﷺ, because his father had been martyred. The burden of six sisters was on his
head, as well as his father's debt. Besides, he had recently married. Allâh's Messenger ﷺ, therefore, used buying of the camel as a means to help him, so that he might not feel hurt.
