A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ demanding repayment of a debt and spoke harshly to him. His companions were about to deal with the man, but he said, "Leave him, for the one who is owed a right has a right to speak."Then he said, "Buy him a camel and give it to him."They said, "We can only find one of a higher age than his."He said, "Then buy it and give it to him, for the best of you is the one who repays his debts most handsomely."
