[Machine] From Nu'bayh al-Anzi from Jabir ibn Abdullah, he said: "I lost my camel one night, and as I passed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , I saw him pulling towards Aisha. He asked me, 'What is wrong, O Jabir?' I said, 'I have lost my camel, or rather my camel has gone missing in a dark night.' He said, 'This is your camel, go and take it.' So I went in the direction he pointed, but I did not find it. I returned to him and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I did not find it.' He said, 'This is your camel, go and take it.' So I went again in the direction he pointed, but I did not find it. I returned to him and said, 'By my father and mother, O Messenger of Allah, I did not find it.' He said, 'Keep looking for it until I finish here.' Then he took my hand and we went until we reached the camel, and he handed it over to me and said, 'This is your camel.' He said, 'The people had already started walking away.' He said, 'While I was riding on my camel with its saddle, there was a bunch of branches on its hindquarters.' He said, 'I said, "How I wish I had nothing but a camel with branches as provisions." He said, 'And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ rode behind me.' He said, 'So he heard what I said.' He said, 'Then he caught up with me and said, "What did you say, O Jabir?" I said, "I forgot what I said, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Do you want me to tell you what you said before?" I said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "I said, 'How I wish I had nothing but a camel with branches as provisions.'" He said, 'So the Prophet ﷺ struck the camel with a whip, either his whip or mine, and it went slower or faster, and I mounted it behind him, grabbing its reins, and he said, "You are selling me your camel, this one?" I said, "Yes." He said, "For how much?" I said, "For an 'uqiyyah." He said, "Bah, bah! How many 'uqiyyahs are there in these provisions?" He said, 'I said, "O Messenger of Allah, there are a lot of ripe dates and fresh dates in an 'uqiyyah." He said, "In that case, I would like it to stay where it is." He said, 'So I got off the camel and handed it over to him. Then I took some Shabt or Khubt and fed it to the camel, and then I took hold of its reins and brought it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . I found the Messenger of Allah ﷺ standing and speaking to a man, so I said, 'Here is your camel, O Messenger of Allah.' He took the reins and called Bilal and said, 'Weigh some fruits for Jabir and fulfill his measure.' So I set off with Bilal, and he measured out some fruits for me, and he gave me the proper weight. Then I came back to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was standing and talking to that man, and I said to him, 'You have given me some fruits and sent my camel back.'

ahmad:15026 – Yaʿqūb from my father > Muḥammad b. Isḥāq > Wahbb. Kaysān > Jābir b. ʿAbdullāh

[Machine] I went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the battle of Dhatus Riqa'a riding on a weak camel. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ halted, the companions continued moving forward, while I stayed behind until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ caught up with me. He asked, "What's wrong, Jabir?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, my camel is slow." He said, "Unleash it, and I will unleash mine." Then he said, "Give me this stick from your hand, or cut a stick for me from a tree." I did so. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took it and struck with it a few times. Then he said, "Ride." So, I rode and he left with his she-camel, which was difficult to restrain. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ spoke to me and said, "Will you give me this camel, Jabir?" I said, "Rather, I gift it to you." He replied, "No, rather, you have loaned it to me." I said, "In that case, name your price." He said, "I have taken it for one dirham." I said, "No, Messenger of Allah, in that case, you have deceived me." He asked, "For two dirhams?" I responded, "No." He continued raising the price until he reached two hundred dirhams. I said, "Yes, now I am satisfied." He asked, "Are you really satisfied?" I said, "Yes." He then said, "It is yours." He asked me, "O Jabir, have you married after that?" I said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He asked, "A virgin or a previously married woman?" I said, "No, rather a previously married woman." He asked, "Aren't there young girls whom you can play with and they can play with you?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, my father was martyred on the day of Uhud, leaving behind seven daughters. So, I married a woman who could take care of them." The Prophet ﷺ said, "You have done the right thing, Insha'Allah." He then said, "If we come across some loot, we will command the butchers to slaughter it, and we will stay there until you come. If you hear about any robbers attacking, disperse and abandon everything you have." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, we don't have any belongings." He said, "When you reach there, do a good deed." I said, "The Messenger of Allah then commanded that the loot be slaughtered and we stayed there until evening. When evening came, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered and we entered with him. I informed the woman of what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, and she said, "May Allah reward you with good. Wait and obey him." When morning came, I held the head of the camel and brought it to the door of the Prophet ﷺ . Then I sat near the mosque, close to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out and saw the camel and asked, "What is this?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah, this is a camel brought by Jabir." He said, "Where is Jabir?" I was called, and he said, "Come here, O son of my brother, take the head of your camel, it is yours." He then called Bilal and said, "Go with Jabir and give him some money." So, I went with Bilal, and he gave me some money and a little extra. I swear by Allah, that camel remained with us and we could see its place from our house until it was injured in the same way people were injured on the day of (the battle of) Badr.
