Generosity in Repaying Debts

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us to be generous and kind when repaying debts.

Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported: Allah's Messenger took a camel on loan, and then returned him (the lender) the camel of a more mature age and said: Good among you are those who are good in clearing off the debt.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي، سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ اسْتَقْرَضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ سِنًّا فَأَعْطَى سِنًّا فَوْقَهُ وَقَالَ ‏ "‏ خِيَارُكُمْ مَحَاسِنُكُمْ قَضَاءً
