Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 44, Hadith 189
It was narrated that Jabir bin ‘Abdullah said: “I was with the Prophet on a journey, and my camel got tired. I thought I wanted to let it go, but the Messenger of “Allah met me and prayed for it (the camel) and hit it. Then it started to run like never before. He said: ‘Sell it to me for one Uwqyah.’ I said” ‘No.’ He said: ‘Sell it to me.’ So I sold it to him for one Uwqiyah but stipulated an exception, to ride it until we reached al-Madinah. When we reached Al-Medina, I brought the camel to him and asked him for its price, then I went back. He sent word to me saying; ‘Do you think I bargained with you to take your camel?’ Take your camel and your Dirhams.
أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا سَعْدَانُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي سَفَرٍ فَأَعْيَا جَمَلِي فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُسَيِّبَهُ فَلَحِقَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَدَعَا لَهُ فَضَرَبَهُ فَسَارَ سَيْرًا لَمْ يَسِرْ مِثْلَهُ فَقَالَ ” بِعْنِيهِ بِوُقِيَّةٍ ” . قُلْتُ لاَ . قَالَ ” بِعْنِيهِ ” . فَبِعْتُهُ بِوُقِيَّةٍ وَاسْتَثْنَيْتُ حُمْلاَنَهُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَلَمَّا بَلَغْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ أَتَيْتُهُ بِالْجَمَلِ وَابْتَغَيْتُ ثَمَنَهُ ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَىَّ فَقَالَ ” أَتُرَانِي إِنَّمَا مَاكَسْتُكَ لآخُذَ جَمَلَكَ خُذْ جَمَلَكَ وَدَرَاهِمَكَ ” .

Completed in the 9th century, this collection features a comprehensive assembly of over 5,700 narrations pertaining to the teachings and example of the Prophet Muhammad. The compiler’s methodology was notably rigorous and scrupulous, setting a high benchmark for authenticity. He meticulously sifted through countless reports, including only the most sound and excluding any that were weak or fabricated.
