[Machine] A man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for a camel, and they said, "We only have the best of his age." He said, "Give it to him." Then he said, "You have fulfilled your promise, may Allah fulfill His promise to you." He said, "The best among people are those who fulfill their promises."  

أحمد:٩٥٧٢حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَلَمَةُ بْنُ كُهَيْلٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَجُلًا تَقَاضَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعِيرًا فَقَالُوا مَا نَجِدُ إِلَّا أَفْضَلَ مِنْ سِنِّهِ فَقَالَ أَعْطُوهُ فَقَالَ أَوْفَيْتَنِي أَوْفَى اللهُ لَكَ فقَالَ خِيَارُ النَّاسِ أَحْسَنُهُمْ قَضَاءً
