Jabir b. ‘Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them) reported that he was travelling on his camel which had grown jaded, and he decided to let it off. When Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) met him and prayed for him and struck it, so it trotted as it had never trotted before. He said: Sell it to me for an ‘uqaya. I said: No. He again said: Sell it to me. So I sold it to him for an ‘uqaya, but made the stipulation that I should be allowed to ride back to my family. Then when I came to (my place) I took the camel to him and he paid me its price in ready money. I then went back and he sent: (someone) behind me (and as I came) he said: Do you see that I asked you to reduce price for buying your camel. Take your camel and your coins; these are yours.
Hadith In Arabic Text :
حدثنا محمد بن عبد الله بن نمير، حدثنا أبي، حدثنا زكرياء، عن عامر، حدثني جابر بن عبد الله، أنه كان يسير على جمل له قد أعيا فأراد أن يسيبه قال فلحقني النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فدعا لي وضربه فسار سيرا لم يسر مثله قال ” بعنيه بوقية ” . قلت لا . ثم قال ” بعنيه ” . فبعته بوقية واستثنيت عليه حملانه إلى أهلي فلما بلغت أتيته بالجمل فنقدني ثمنه ثم رجعت فأرسل في أثري فقال ” أتراني ماكستك لآخذ جملك خذ جملك ودراهمك فهو لك ” .
