Jami at-Tirmidhi 1317 (Book 14, Hadith 120) #26893
Generosity and Kindness in Dealing with Others

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that one should be generous and kind when dealing with others, even if they are rude.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: "A man behaved in a rude manner while trying to collect a debt from the Messenger of Allah . So his Companions were about to harm him. The Messenger of Allah said: 'Leave him, for indeed the owner of the the right has the right to speak'. Then he said: 'Purchase a camel for him and give it to him'. So they searched out but they did not find a camel but of a better age than his camel. So he said: 'Buy it and give it to him. For indeed the best of you is the best in repaying'."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، تَقَاضَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَغْلَظَ لَهُ فَهَمَّ بِهِ أَصْحَابُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ دَعُوهُ فَإِنَّ لِصَاحِبِ الْحَقِّ مَقَالاً ‏"‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ اشْتَرُوا لَهُ بَعِيرًا فَأَعْطُوهُ إِيَّاهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَطَلَبُوهُ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا إِلاَّ سِنًّا أَفْضَلَ مِنْ سِنِّهِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ اشْتَرُوهُ فَأَعْطُوهُ إِيَّاهُ فَإِنَّ خَيْرَكُمْ أَحْسَنُكُمْ قَضَاءً

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of being generous and kind to others, even if they are rude. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was asked for a debt by a man who was behaving in an impolite manner. His companions were about to harm him, but the Prophet Muhammad stopped them and said that the owner of the right has the right to speak. He then instructed them to purchase a camel for him as repayment, even though it was better than his own camel. This teaches us that we should always be generous when dealing with others, no matter how they behave towards us. We should also strive to repay our debts in full and on time so as not to burden those who have lent us money or goods.
