1316. Abū Hurairah narrated: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ took a camel of a particular age on loan. He gave back to him a camel of a better age than the one he was given. He said: "The best among you is the best in repaying."(Sahih)
[He said:] There is something on this topic from Abū Rāfi'.
[Abū 'Eisā said:] The Hadīth of Abū Hurairah is a Hasan Sahih Hadīth. Shu'bah and Sufyān reported it from Salamah.

Commentary
Obtaining an animal on the condition that it will be returned in the form of an animal is lawful, and returning a better animal without any prior commitment is also approved. Most of the scholars and Imām Shāfi'i, Mālik and Aḥmad approve of this deal in the light of the Sahih narration.
