I then went back and he sent: (someone) behind me (and as I came) he said: Do you see that I asked you to reduce price for buying your camel. Take your camel and your coins; these are yours. (Using translation from Muslim 715m)
أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَسِيرُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَلَى جَمَلٍ فَأَعْيَا فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُسَيِّبَهُ قَالَ «فَلَحِقَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَدَعَا لَهُ وَضَرَبَهُ» قَالَ «فَسَارَ سَيْرًا لَمْ يَسِرْ مِثْلَهُ» قَالَ «أَتَبِيعُنِيهِ بِأُوقِيَّةٍ؟ وَالْأُوقِيَّةُ أَرْبَعُونَ دِرْهَمًا» قَالَ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ «تَبِيعُنِيهِ؟» فَبِعْتُهُ بِأُوقِيَّةٍ وَاسْتَثْنَيْتُ حِمْلَانَهُ إِلَى أَهْلِي فَلَمَّا بَلَغَنَا أَتَيْتُهُ بِالْجَمَلِ فَنَقَدَنِي ثَمَنَهُ ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ «أَتُرَى أَنَّمَا مَاكَسْتُكَ لِأَخُذَ جَمَلَكَ خُذْ جَمَلَكَ وَدَرَاهِمَكَ فَهُمَا لَكَ»
