Sahih al-Bukhari 1689 (Book 25, Hadith 168) #1619
Riding Sacrificial Camels

SUMMARY: The Prophet (pbuh) encouraged a man to ride on his sacrificial camel, and warned him when he refused.

Narrated Abu Huraira': Allah's Messenger (pbuh) saw a man driving his Badana (sacrificial camel). He said, "Ride on it". The man said, "It is a Badana". The Prophet said, "Ride on it". He (the man) said, "It is a Badana". The Prophet said, "Ride on it". And on the second or the third time he (the Prophet ) added, "Woe to you".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَأَى رَجُلاً يَسُوقُ بَدَنَةً فَقَالَ ‏"‏ ارْكَبْهَا ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَالَ إِنَّهَا بَدَنَةٌ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ ارْكَبْهَا ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ إِنَّهَا بَدَنَةٌ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ ارْكَبْهَا، وَيْلَكَ ‏"‏‏.‏ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ أَوْ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ‏.‏
