Sunan an-Nasai 4618 (Book 44, Hadith 170) #19151
Repaying with Kindness

SUMMARY: The Prophet taught that the best of people are those who are best in repaying.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "A man had lent a camel of a certain age to the Prophet and he came to get it back. He said: "Give it to him" But they could only find a camel that was older than it. He said: "Give it to him". He said: "You have repaid me well," The Messenger of Allah said; "The best of you is the one who is best in repaying"
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ كَانَ لِرَجُلٍ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ سِنٌّ مِنَ الإِبِلِ فَجَاءَ يَتَقَاضَاهُ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَعْطُوهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا إِلاَّ سِنًّا فَوْقَ سِنِّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَعْطُوهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ أَوْفَيْتَنِي ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ إِنَّ خِيَارَكُمْ أَحْسَنُكُمْ قَضَاءً

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of repaying kindness with kindness. It was narrated by Abu Hurairah that a man had lent a camel to the Prophet and when he came to get it back, they could only find an older camel. The Prophet told them to give it to him anyway and he said "You have repaid me well". The Messenger of Allah then said; "The best of you is the one who is best in repaying". This teaches us that we should always repay kindness with kindness and be generous when we can. We should also remember that being kind and generous will make us better people overall.
