Sahih al-Bukhari 1619 (Book 25, Hadith 104) #1555
Performing Tawaf While Riding Behind People

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) advised Um Salama to perform the Tawaf while riding behind the people when she was ill.

Narrated Um Salama: (the wife of the Prophet) I informed Allah's Messenger that I was ill. So he said, "Perform the Tawaf while riding behind the people". I did so, and at that time the Prophet was praying beside the Ka'ba and reciting Surat-at-Tur.
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَتْ شَكَوْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَنِّي أَشْتَكِي‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ طُوفِي مِنْ وَرَاءِ النَّاسِ، وَأَنْتِ رَاكِبَةٌ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَطُفْتُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ حِينَئِذٍ يُصَلِّي إِلَى جَنْبِ الْبَيْتِ، وَهْوَ يَقْرَأُ ‏{‏وَالطُّورِ * وَكِتَابٍ مَسْطُورٍ‏}‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how to perform a religious ritual called 'Tawaf' when one is ill. The Prophet ﷺ advised his wife, Um Salama, to do this ritual while riding behind other people instead of walking around it as usual. This shows us that Islam encourages us to be considerate and compassionate towards those who are not able to do certain tasks due to their physical condition or illness. It also teaches us that we should always look for ways in which we can make things easier for ourselves and others even if it means doing something differently than what is usually done. Furthermore, this hadith also highlights the importance of reciting Quran during rituals as the Prophet ﷺ was reciting Surat-at-Tur at that time.
