Sahih al-Bukhari 2506 (Book 51, Hadith 43)
`Umar. The camel used to go ahead of the Prophet, so Ibn `Umar’s father would say, “O `Abdullah!
No one should go ahead of the Prophet.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, “Sell it to me.” `Umar said to the
Prophet “It is for you.” So, he bought it and said, “O `Abdullah! It is for you, and you can do with it
what you like.”
