حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ جَبَلَةَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كَانَ لِرَجُلٍ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَيْنٌ فَهَمَّ بِهِ أَصْحَابُهُ فَقَالَ دَعُوهُ فَإِنَّ لِصَاحِبِ الْحَقِّ مَقَالًا وَقَالَ اشْتَرُوا لَهُ سِنًّا فَأَعْطُوهَا إِيَّاهُ فَقَالُوا إِنَّا لَا نَجِدُ سِنًّا إِلَّا سِنًّا هِيَ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ سِنِّهِ قَالَ فَاشْتَرُوهَا فَأَعْطُوهَا إِيَّاهُ فَإِنَّ مِنْ خَيْرِكُمْ أَحْسَنَكُمْ قَضَاءً
Telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Abdullah bin 'Utsman bin Jabalah] berkata, telah menceritakan kepadaku [bapakku] dari [Syu'bah] dari [Salamah] berkata, aku mendengar [Abu Salamah] dari [Abu Hurairah radliallahu 'anhu] berkata; Ada seorang laki-laki yang kepadanya Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam mempunyai hutang lalu para sahabat ingin (memberina pelajaran) namun Beliau berkata: "Biarkanlah dia, karena bagi pemegang kebenaran berhak menyatakan kebenarannya". Lalu Beliau berkata: "Belilah satu ekor anak unta lalu berikanlah kepadanya". Orang-orang berkata: "Kami tidak mendapatkan anak unta yang dimaksud melainkan ada seekor anak unta yang umurnya lebih". Beliau berkata: "Beli dan berikanlah kepadanya karena sesungguhnya yang terbaik diantara kalian adalah siapa yang paling baik menunaikan janji". (HR. Bukhari: 2416)
Narrated Marwan bin Al-Hakam and Al-Miswar bin Makhrama: When the delegates of the tribe of Hawazin came to the Prophet (ﷺ) they requested him to return their property and their captives. He said to them, "This concerns also other people along with me as you see, and the best statement to me is the true one, so you may choose one of two alternatives; either the captives or the property and (I have not distributed the booty for) I have been waiting for you." When the Prophet (ﷺ) had returned from Ta'if, he waited for them for more than ten nights. When they came to know that the Prophet (ﷺ) would not return except one of the two, they chose their captives. The Prophet (ﷺ) then stood up amongst the Muslims, Glorified and Praised Allah as He deserved, and then said, "Then after: These brothers of yours have come to you with repentance and I see it proper to return their captives, so whoever amongst you likes to do that as a favor, then he can do it, and whoever of you wants to stick to his share till we pay him from the very first Fai (i.e. war booty) which Allah will give us, then he can do so." The people said, "We return (the captives) to them willingly as a favor, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I do not know who of you has given his consent and who has not; so go back and your leaders may present your decision to me." The people went away, and their leaders discussed the matter with them, and then came to the Prophet (ﷺ) to tell him that all of them had given their consent (to return the captives) willingly. (Az-Zuhri, the sub-narrator said, "This is what we know about the captives, of Hawazin.") (Bukhari: 2416)
