The Prophet ﷺ owed a camel of a certain age to a man who came to demand it back. The Prophet ﷺ ordered his companions to give him. They looked for a camel of the same age but found nothing but a camel one year older. The Prophet ﷺ told them to give it to him. The man said, "You have paid me in full, and may Allah pay you in full." The Prophet ﷺ said, "The best amongst you is he who pays his debts in the most handsome manner."  

البخاري:٢٣٩٣حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ قَالَ

كَانَ لِرَجُلٍ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ سِنٌّ مِنَ الإِبِلِ فَجَاءَهُ يَتَقَاضَاهُ فَقَالَ ﷺ أَعْطُوهُ فَطَلَبُوا سِنَّهُ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا لَهُ إِلاَّ سِنًّا فَوْقَهَا فَقَالَ أَعْطُوهُ فَقَالَ أَوْفَيْتَنِي وَفَّى اللَّهُ بِكَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ خِيَارَكُمْ أَحْسَنُكُمْ قَضَاءً

I went to the Prophet ﷺ while he was in the Mosque. (Masʿar thinks, that Jabir went in the forenoon.) After the Prophet ﷺ told me to pray two rakʿat, he repaid me the debt he owed me and gave me an extra amount.  

البخاري:٢٣٩٤حَدَّثَنَا خَلاَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرٌ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَارِبُ بْنُ دِثَارٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ؓ قَالَ

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهْوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ قَالَ مِسْعَرٌ أُرَاهُ قَالَ ضُحًى فَقَالَ صَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَكَانَ لِي عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ فَقَضَانِي وَزَادَنِي
