Narrated Abu Huraira:
A man demanded his debts from Allah's Apostle in such a rude manner that the companions of the
Prophet intended to harm him, but the Prophet said, "Leave him, no doubt, for he (the creditor) has
the right to demand it (harshly). Buy a camel and give it to him." They said, "The camel that is avail –
able is older than the camel he demands. "The Prophet said, "Buy it and give it to him, for the best
among you are those who repay their debts handsomely. "
