Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #27476

Abd bin Humayd narrated to us, Ruh bin Ubadah narrated to us, Malik bin Anas narrated to us, on the authority of Zayd bin Aslam, on the authority of Ata’ bin Yasar, on the authority of Abu Rafi’, a client of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. He said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, asked for a loan early, and camels came to him from the charity. Abu Rafi’ said. So the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, ordered me to perform the killing of the man, his firstborn. I said, “I do not find anything among camels except a four-legged camel.” So the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “Give it to him, for the best of people are those who are best at paying their debts.” Abu Issa said: This is a good and authentic hadith.
