I did so and the Prophet came and sat beside the dates and started measuring to each his due till he paid them fully, and the amount of dates remained as it was before, as if he had not touched them.

He said, ''Sell it to me, and you have the right to ride it till Medina.\'' When we approached Medina, I took the permission from the Prophet to go to my house, saying, ''O Allah's Apostle! I have newly married.'' The Prophet asked, ''Have you married a virgin or a matron (a widow or divorcee)?''

On that I told him about its slowness and exhaustion and about what the Prophet had done to the camel and his hitting it. When the Prophet arrived, I went to him with the camel in the morning and he gave me its price, the camel itself, and my share from the war booty as he gave the other people.
