Sunan an-Nasai 4639 (Book 44, Hadith 191) #19172
Kindness and Generosity of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) showed kindness and generosity to Jabir by buying his camel for one Uqiyah and adding a Qirat as an extra.

It was narrated that Jabir 'Abdullah said: "I was with the Messenger of Allah on a journey, and I was riding a camel. He said: 'Why are you at the back of the people?, I said: 'My camel is tired, He took hold of its tail and shouted at it, then I was at the front of the people, worrying that it would go ahead of the others. When we drew close to al-Madinah he said: 'What happened to the camel? Sell it to me'. I said, No, it is yours O Messenger of Allah.; He said, 'No, sell it tome. I said, 'No, it is yours, O Messenger of Allah'. He said: 'No, sell it to me. I will take it for one Uqiyah but you (continue to) ride it. Then when you reach Al-Madinah, bring it to us'. So when I reached Al-Madinah, I brought it him. He said to Bilal: 'O Bilal, weight out for him one Uqiyah and add a Qirat'. I said: 'This is something extra that the Messenger of Allah gave to'. I kept it with me and put it in a bag, and it stayed with me until the people of Ash-Sham came on the Day of Al-Harrah and took from us what they took'.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ وَكُنْتُ عَلَى جَمَلٍ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا لَكَ فِي آخِرِ النَّاسِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ أَعْيَا بَعِيرِي فَأَخَذَ بِذَنَبِهِ ثُمَّ زَجَرَهُ فَإِنْ كُنْتُ إِنَّمَا أَنَا فِي أَوَّلِ النَّاسِ يُهِمُّنِي رَأْسُهُ فَلَمَّا دَنَوْنَا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ ‏"‏ مَا فَعَلَ الْجَمَلُ بِعْنِيهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ لاَ بَلْ هُوَ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ بَلْ بِعْنِيهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ لاَ بَلْ هُوَ لَكَ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ بَلْ بِعْنِيهِ قَدْ أَخَذْتُهُ بِوُقِيَّةٍ ارْكَبْهُ فَإِذَا قَدِمْتَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَائْتِنَا بِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ جِئْتُهُ بِهِ فَقَالَ لِبِلاَلٍ ‏"‏ يَا بِلاَلُ زِنْ لَهُ أُوقِيَّةً وَزِدْهُ قِيرَاطًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ هَذَا شَىْءٌ زَادَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ يُفَارِقْنِي فَجَعَلْتُهُ فِي كِيسٍ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ عِنْدِي حَتَّى جَاءَ أَهْلُ الشَّامِ يَوْمَ الْحَرَّةِ فَأَخَذُوا مِنَّا مَا أَخَذُوا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the kindness and generosity of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It was narrated that Jabir 'Abdullah said he was on a journey with the Messenger of Allah, riding a camel at the back of everyone else. The Prophet asked why he was so far behind, to which Jabir replied that his camel was tired. The Prophet then took hold of its tail and shouted at it, causing it to move faster than before. When they were close to al-Madinah, the Prophet asked what happened to his camel and offered to buy it from him for one Uqiyah but let him continue riding it until they reached al-Madinah. When they arrived in al-Madinah, Bilal weighed out one Uqiyah for him plus an extra qirt as something extra from the Messenger of Allah himself. This story shows us how generous and kind our beloved prophet was towards others even when he didn't have much himself; this is something we should all strive towards in our own lives today!
