Sahih al-Bukhari 443 (Book 8, Hadith 92) #436
Repaying Debts with Generosity

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) repaid a debt to Jabir bin 'Abdullah and gave him more than what was due.

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: I went to the Prophet in the mosque (the sub-narrator Mas'ar thought that Jabir had said, "In the forenoon") He ordered me to pray two rak'at. He owed me some money and he repaid it to me and gave more than what was due to me.
حَدَّثَنَا خَلاَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَارِبُ بْنُ دِثَارٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ وَهُوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ـ قَالَ مِسْعَرٌ أُرَاهُ قَالَ ضُحًى ـ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ صَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَكَانَ لِي عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ فَقَضَانِي وَزَادَنِي‏.‏
