Hadith text

Narrated Muslim from Abu `Aqil from Abu Al-Mutawakkil An-Naji:I called on Jabir bin `Abdullah Al-Ansari and said to him, "Relate to me what you have heard from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ." He said, "I accompanied him on one of the journeys." (Abu `Aqil said, "I do not know whether that journey was for the purpose of Jihad or `Umra.") "When we were returning," Jabir continued, "the Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Whoever wants to return earlier to his family, should hurry up.' We set off and I was on a black red tainted camel having no defect, and the people were behind me. While I was in that state the camel stopped suddenly (because of exhaustion). On that the Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, 'O Jabir, wait!' Then he hit it once with his lash and it started moving on a fast pace. He then said, 'Will you sell the camel?' I replied in the affirmative when we reached Medina, and the Prophet (ﷺ) went to the Mosque along with his companions. I, too, went to him after tying the camel on the pavement at the Mosque gate. Then I said to him, 'This is your camel.' He came out and started examining the camel and saying, 'The camel is ours.' Then the Prophet (ﷺ) sent some Awaq (i.e. an amount) of gold saying, 'Give it to Jabir.' Then he asked, 'Have you taken the full price (of the camel)?' I replied in the affirmative. He said, 'Both the price and the camel are for you

Muslim, Abu Aqil se, Abu Al-Mutawakkil An-Naji se: Main Jabir bin Abdullah Al-Ansari se milne gaya aur unse kaha, "Mujhe woh bataiye jo aapne Allah ke Rasool se suna." Unhone kaha, "Main unke saath ek safar par tha." (Abu Aqil ne kaha, "Mujhe nahi pata woh safar Jihad ke liye tha ya Umrah ke liye.") "Jab hum wapas ja rahe the," Jabir ne aage kaha, "Nabi ne kaha, 'Jo bhi apne pariwara ke paas jaldi wapas jana chahta hai, use jaldi karni chahiye.' Hum chal pade aur main ek kale-lal rang ke unt par tha jisme koi kami nahi thi, aur log mere peeche the. Isi haal mein achanak unt ruka (thakan ki wajah se). Isspar Nabi ne mujhse kaha, 'Aye Jabir! Ruko!' Phir unhone use ek baar apne chaabuk se maara aur woh tez raftaar se chalna laga. Phir unhone pucha, 'Kya tum unt bechoge?' Maine haan mein jawab diya jab hum Madina pahunche, aur Nabi apne sahaba ke saath masjid gaye. Main bhi unt ko masjid ke darwaze ki chabutre par baandhkar unke paas gaya. Phir maine unse kaha, 'Yeh aapka unt hai.' Woh bahar aaye aur unt ki jaanch karne lage, kehte huye, 'Unt humara hai.' Phir Nabi ne kuch Awaq (yaani ek maqdaar) sona bheja, kehte huye, 'Ise Jabir ko do.' Phir unhone pucha, 'Kya tumne poori qeemat le li hai (unt ki)?' Maine haan mein jawab diya. Unhone kaha, 'Qeemat aur unt dono tumhare hain.'"
