باب فِي حُسْنِ الْقَضَاءِ

English narration

Narrated by أبو رافع القبطي

Narrated Abu Rafi: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ borrowed a young camel, and when the camels of the sadaqah (alms) came to him, he ordered me to pay the man his young camel. I said: I find only an excellent camel in its seventh year. So the Prophet ﷺ said: Give it to him, for the best person is he who discharges his debt in the best manner.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ ، قَالَ : "

اسْتَسْلَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَكْرًا ، فَجَاءَتْهُ إِبِلٌ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ ، فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَقْضِيَ الرَّجُلَ بَكْرَهُ ، فَقُلْتُ : لَمْ أَجِدْ فِي الْإِبِلِ إِلَّا جَمَلًا خِيَارًا رَبَاعِيًا ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :أَعْطِهِ إِيَّاهُ ، فَإِنَّ خِيَارَ النَّاسِ أَحْسَنُهُمْ قَضَاءً
