Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ قَالَاسْتَسْلَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَكْرًا فَجَاءَتْهُ إِبِلٌ مِنْ 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
English Translation
Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al Qa'nabi], dari [Malik] dari [Zaid bin Aslam] dari ['Atha` bin Yasar] dari [Abu Rafi'], ia berkata; Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam menghutang seekor unta muda, kemudian terdapat unta zakat yang datang kepada beliau. Lalu beliau memerintahkanku agar mengembalikan unta muda tersebut kepada yang punya. Lalu aku katakan; saya tidak mendapatkan di antara unta tersebut selain unta pilihan yang berumur empat tahun. Kemudian Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Berikan kepadanya, sesungguhnya sebaik-baik orang adalah yang terbaik dalam menunaikan hutang."
