الفضل بن دكين أبو نعيم الملائي Atbāʿ al-Tābiʿīn 120 AH – 212 AH or 219 AH Zakaria bin Abi Za'idah Tābiʿī d. 149 AH 'Amir al-Sha'bi Tābiʿī ~19 AH – ~104 AH Jabir bin Abdullah Companion 16 BH/607 CE – ~78 AH/687 CE

Narrated Jabir:While I was riding a (slow) and tired camel, the Prophet (ﷺ) passed by and beat it and prayed for Allah's Blessings for it. The camel became so fast as it had never been before. The Prophet (ﷺ) then said, "Sell it to me for one Uqiyya (of gold)." I said, "No." He again said, "Sell it to me for one Uqiyya (of gold)." I sold it and stipulated that I should ride it to my house. When we reached (Medina) I took that camel to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he gave me its price. I returned home but he sent for me (and when I went to him) he said, "I will not take your camel. Take your camel as a gift for you." (Various narrations are mentioned here with slight variations in expressions relating the condition that Jabir had the right to ride the sold camel up to Medina).

It is related from Jabir that he was travelling on a camel of his which had become tired. "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, passed and struck it and made supplication for it. Then it went in an unparalleled manner. Then he said, 'Sell it for an awqiyya.' I said, 'No.' Then he said, 'Sell it for an awqiyya.' So I sold it to him and I made a condition that it carry me to my family. When we reached Madina, I brought him the camel and he paid me its price and then I left. He sent after me, I will not take your camel. Take your camel, That is a gift for you.'" Jabir said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, let me use its back to ride back to Madina." From Mughira, he said, "I sold it provided that I could use its back until I reached Madina." 'Ata' and others have, "You have its back as far as Madina." From Jabir, "The precondition of using its back to Madina." From Jabir, "You have its back until you return." From Jabir, "We let you use its back as far as Madina." From Jabir, "Use it to reach your family." From Jabir, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, bought it for an awqiyya." Zayd ibn Aslam corroborates it from Jabir. Ibn Jurayj said from 'Ata' and others from Jabir, "Take it for four dinars." This is an awiqyya when the dinar is reckoned is reckoned as ten dirhams. Mughira from ash-Sha'bi did not make its price clear from Jabir, nor Ibn al-Munkadir and Abu'z-Zubayr from Jabir. From Jabir is, "An awqiyya of gold." From Jabir is, "A hundred dirhams." From Jabir, "He bought it on the road to Tabuk. I reckon that he said, 'For four awqiyyas.'" From Jabir, "He bought it for ten dinars." The words of ash-Sha'bi about it being for an awqiyya is in most and the precondition is more frequent and I consider it to be sounder." Abu 'Abdullah said that.
