Allah's Messenger (SAW) took from a man as a loan a young camel (below six years). Then the camel of Sadaqah were bought to him. He ordered Abu Rafi to return the camel (as to return the loan). Abu Rafi returned to him and said "I did not find among them but better camels above the age of six." The holy Prophet (SAW) said: "Give that to him for the best of men are those who are best in paying off the debt". (Sahih Muslim 3896)
