We were told by Muhammad ibn Bashshar ibn ‘Uthman al-‘Abdi, who said: We were told by Muhammad ibn Ja‘far, who said: We were told by Shu‘bah, on the authority of Salamah ibn Kuhayl, on the authority of Abu Salamah, on the authority of Abu Hurayrah, who said: A man had a claim against the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he spoke harshly to him. The companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, intended to deal with him, but the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “The one who has a right has a say.” Then he said to them: “Buy a camel for him and give it to him.” They said: “We do not find a camel except one that is better than his camel.” He said: “Buy it and give it to him, for the best of you—or the best among you—is the one who is best in settling debts.”
