[Machine] I passed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while I was riding a lame camel at the rear of the group. He asked me, "What is the matter with your camel?" I said, "It is either lame or stubborn, O Messenger of Allah." He then held its reins, hit it, and said, "Ride it. I have seen it since its beginning, and I have been restraining it." When we approached, I wanted to hurry ahead to meet my family, so he said, "Do not reach your family hastily." He then asked, "Are you married?" I said, "Yes." He asked, "Is she a virgin or previously married?" I said, "Previously married." He said, "Why don't you marry a virgin, so that both of you can amuse each other?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, Abdullah (my son) has abandoned his slave girls, and I disliked bringing women of their kind to be like them, so I wanted to marry a woman who has understanding." He did not say anything to me, neither scolding nor approving. Then he said to me about my camel, "It is yours, O Messenger of Allah." I said, "It is yours, O Messenger of Allah." When he insisted, I said, "If anyone owes a debt to someone, it belongs to the creditor." He said, "Yes, send it to your family and inform Bilal to give you one dinar and increase it." So, he gave me a gold dinar and increased it by a Qirat (a unit of weight). I said, "This Qirat will never leave me, as it was an increase by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." I put it in a bag and it stayed with me until it was taken by the people of Sham (Greater Syria) on the day of Harrah. They mentioned it in Sahih Al-Bukhari, citing it from the hadith of Al-A'mash with a gesture, and it is also mentioned in Sahih Muslim through narration.
مَرَرْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَعِي بَعِيرٌ مُعْتَلٌّ وَأَنَا أَسُوقُهُ فِي آخِرِ الْقَوْمِ فَقَالَ مَا شَأْنُ بَعِيرِكَ هَذَا؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ مُعْتَلٌّ أَوْ ظَالِعٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَأَخَذَ بِذَنَبِهِ فَضَرَبَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ ارْكَبْ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي فِي أَوَّلِهِ وَإِنِّي لَأَحْبِسُهُ فَلَمَّا دَنَوْنَا أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَتَعَجَّلَ إِلَى أَهْلِي فَقَالَ لَا تَأْتِ أَهْلَكَ طَرُوقًا قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا تَزَوَّجْتَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ بِكْرٌ أَمْ ثَيِّبٌ؟ قُلْتُ ثَيِّبٌ قَالَ فَهَلَّا بِكْرًا تُلَاعِبُهَا وَتُلَاعِبُكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ تَرَكَ جَوَارِيَ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَضُمَّ إِلَيْهِنَّ مِثْلَهُنَّ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَتَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً قَدْ عَقَلَتْ فَمَا قَالَ لِي أَسَأْتَ وَلَا أَحْسَنْتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي بِعْنِي بَعِيرَكَ هَذَا قَالَ قُلْتُ هُوَ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ بِعْنِيهِ قُلْتُ هُوَ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرَ عَلَيَّ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّ لِرَجُلٍ عَلَيَّ وُقِيَّةَ ذَهَبٍ فَهُوَ لَكَ بِهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ تَبْلُغُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَى أَهْلِكَ وَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيَ بِلَالٍ فَقَالَ أَعْطِهِ وُقِيَّةَ ذَهَبٍ وَزِدْهُ فَأَعْطَانِي وُقِيَّةً وَزَادَنِي قِيرَاطًا فَقُلْتُ لَا يُفَارِقْنِي هَذَا الْقِيرَاطُ شَيْءٌ زَادَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَعَلْتُهُ فِي كِيسٍ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ عِنْدِي حَتَّى أَخَذَهُ أَهْلُ الشَّامِ يَوْمَ الْحَرَّةِ أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ الْأَعْمَشِ الْبُخَارِيُّ بِالْإِشَارَةِ إِلَيْهِ وَمُسْلِمٌ بِالرِّوَايَةِ
