Eloquent ORM: Obtain a object, not an array of objects

I have this statement in Laravel 4:

$prepayment = Prepayment::where('hash', '=', $custom)->take(1)->get();

But this return an array of objects, and I want only one object, because there are only one result with the hash that I search.

How is the way to obtain only one object, not an array of objects?

Thanks!

Use the first() method instead of the get() method

$prepayment = Prepayment::where('hash', '=', $custom)->first();
