Sunan Abi Dawud 3505 (Book 24, Hadith 90) #23795
Generosity of the Prophet (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) showed kindness and generosity to Jabir bin 'Abdullah by allowing him to keep the camel and its price.

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah : I sold it, that is, camel, to the Prophet , but I made the stipulation that I should be allowed to ride it to home. At the end he (the Prophet) said: Do you think that I made this transaction with you so that I take your camel ? Take your camel and its price; both are yours.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعِيدٍ - عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا، حَدَّثَنَا عَامِرٌ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ بِعْتُهُ - يَعْنِي بَعِيرَهُ - مِنَ النَّبِيِّ وَاشْتَرَطْتُ حُمْلاَنَهُ إِلَى أَهْلِي قَالَ فِي آخِرِهِ ‏ "‏ تُرَانِي إِنَّمَا مَاكَسْتُكَ لأَذْهَبَ بِجَمَلِكَ خُذْ جَمَلَكَ وَثَمَنَهُ فَهُمَا لَكَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the generosity of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It narrates an incident where Jabir bin 'Abdullah sold a camel to the Prophet, but he made a stipulation that he should be allowed to ride it home. Instead of taking advantage of this situation, the Prophet showed great kindness and generosity by allowing him to keep both his camel and its price. This hadith teaches us that we should always be generous with others, even if they are in our debt or owe us something. We should not take advantage of them or try to benefit from their misfortune. Instead, we should show them kindness and mercy as taught by our beloved prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
