أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ ، قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ : مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ : اسْتَسْلَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَكْرًا، فَجَاءَتْ إِبِلٌ مِنْ إِبِلِ الصَّدَقَةِ.
قَالَ أَبُو رَافِعٍ : فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَقْضِيَ الرَّجُلَ بَكْرَهُ، فَقُلْتُ : لَمْ أَجِدْ فِي الْإِبِلِ إِلَّا جَمَلًا خِيَارًا رَبَاعِيًا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :" أَعْطِهِ إِيَّاهُ، فَإِنَّ خَيْرَ النَّاسِ أَحْسَنُهُمْ قَضَاءً ".
قَالَ عَبْد اللَّهِ : هَذَا يُقَوِّي قَوْلَ مَنْ يَقُولُ : الْحَيَوَانُ بِالْحَيَوَانِ

Al-Hakam bin Al-Mubarak told us, on the authority of Malik, as it was read to him, on the authority of Zayd bin Aslam, on the authority of Ata’ bin Yasar, on the authority of Abu Rafi’: A servant of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, asked for a loan early, and one of the camels of charity came.
Abu Rafi’ said: So he ordered me to give the man his firstborn, so I said: I did not find among the camels except a four-legged camel, so the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said He, peace and blessings be upon him: “Give it to him, for the best of people are those who fulfill their duties best.”
Abdullah said: This strengthens the statement of those who say: Animal for animal.
