حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَامِرًا يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنِي جَابِرٌ ؓ

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَسِيرُ عَلَى جَمَلٍ لَهُ قَدْ أَعْيَا فَمَرَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَضَرَبَهُ فَدَعَا لَهُ فَسَارَ بِسَيْرٍ لَيْسَ يَسِيرُ مِثْلَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ بِعْنِيهِ بِوَقِيَّةٍ قُلْتُ لاَ ثُمَّ قَالَ بِعْنِيهِ بِوَقِيَّةٍ فَبِعْتُهُ فَاسْتَثْنَيْتُ حُمْلاَنَهُ إِلَى أَهْلِي فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا أَتَيْتُهُ بِالْجَمَلِ وَنَقَدَنِي ثَمَنَهُ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفْتُ فَأَرْسَلَ عَلَى إِثْرِي قَالَ مَا كُنْتُ لآخُذَ جَمَلَكَ فَخُذْ جَمَلَكَ ذَلِكَ فَهْوَ مَالُكَ

While I was riding a (slow) and tired camel, the Prophet ﷺ passed by and beat it and prayed for Allah's Blessings for it. The camel became so fast as it had never been before. The Prophet ﷺ then said, "Sell it to me for one Uqiyya (of gold)." I said, "No." He again said, "Sell it to me for one Uqiyya (of gold)." I sold it and stipulated that I should ride it to my house. When we reached (Medina) I took that camel to the Prophet ﷺ and he gave me its price. I returned home but he sent for me (and when I went to him) he said, "I will not take your camel. Take your camel as a gift for you." (Various narrations are mentioned here with slight variations in expressions relating the condition that Jabir had the right to ride the sold camel up to Medina).
