حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ
أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَتَقَاضَاهُ فَأَغْلَظَ فَهَمَّ بِهِ أَصْحَابُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ دَعُوهُ فَإِنَّ لِصَاحِبِ الْحَقِّ مَقَالاً ثُمَّ قَالَ أَعْطُوهُ سِنًّا مِثْلَ سِنِّهِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لاَ نَجِدُ إِلاَّ أَمْثَلَ مِنْ سِنِّهِ فَقَالَ أَعْطُوهُ فَإِنَّ مِنْ خَيْرِكُمْ أَحْسَنَكُمْ قَضَاءً

A man came to the Prophet ﷺ demanding his debts and behaved rudely. The companions of the Prophet ﷺ intended to harm him, but Messenger of Allah ﷺ said (to them), "Leave him, for the creditor (i.e. owner of a right) has the right to speak." Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "Give him a camel of the same age as that of his." The people said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! There is only a camel that is older than his." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Give (it to) him, for the best amongst you is he who pays the rights of others handsomely."
