Sahih Bukhari
Hadith #2097
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:I was with the Prophet (ﷺ) in a Ghazwa (Military Expedition) and my camel was slow and exhausted. The Prophet came up to me and said, ""O Jabir."" I replied, ""Yes?"" He said, ""What is the matter with you?"" I replied, ""My camel is slow and tired, so I am left behind."" So, he got down and poked the camel with his stick and then ordered me to ride. I rode the camel and it became so fast that I had to hold it from going ahead of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . He then asked me, have you got married?"" I replied in the affirmative.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, ""You will reach, so when you have arrived (at home), I advise you to associate with your wife (that you may have an intelligent son)."" Then he asked me, ""Would you like to sell your camel?"" I replied in the affirmative and the Prophet (ﷺ) purchased it for one Uqiya of gold. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) reached before me and I reached in the morning, and when I went to the mosque, I found him at the door of the mosque. He asked me, ""Have you arrived just now?"" I replied in the affirmative. He said, ""Leave your camel and come into (the mosque) and pray two rak`at."" I entered and offered the prayer. He told Bilal to weigh and give me one Uqiya of gold. So Bilal weighed for me fairly and I went away. The Prophet (ﷺ) sent for me and I thought that he would return to me my camel which I hated more than anything else. But the Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, ""Take your camel as well as its price
