٤٠۔ كتاب الوكالة
The Prophet ﷺ owed somebody a camel of a certain age. When he came to demand it back, the Prophet ﷺ said (to some people), "Give him (his due)." When the people searched for a camel of that age, they found none, but found a camel one year older. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Give (it to) him." On that, the man remarked, "You have given me my right in full. May Allah give you in full." The Prophet ﷺ said, "The best amongst you is the one who pays the rights of others generously."
كَانَ لِرَجُلٍ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ سِنٌّ مِنَ الإِبِلِ فَجَاءَهُ يَتَقَاضَاهُ فَقَالَ أَعْطُوهُ فَطَلَبُوا سِنَّهُ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا لَهُ إِلاَّ سِنًّا فَوْقَهَا فَقَالَ أَعْطُوهُ فَقَالَ أَوْفَيْتَنِي أَوْفَى اللَّهُ بِكَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ خِيَارَكُمْ أَحْسَنُكُمْ قَضَاءً
