Sunan Abi Dawud 1904 (Book 11, Hadith 184) #22196
Walking with Wisdom

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Abdullah ibn Umar's response to a man who asked why he was walking while the people were running between as-Safa and al-Marwah. He replied that he saw the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) running, but since he was too old, he chose to walk instead.

Kathir ibn Jamhan said: A man asked Abdullah ibn Umar between as-Safa and al-Marwah: AbdurRahman, I see you walking while the people are running (between as-Safa and al-Marwah)? He replied: If I walk, I saw the Messenger of Allah running. I am too old.
حَدَّثَنَا النُّفَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ جُمْهَانَ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، قَالَ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنِّي أَرَاكَ تَمْشِي وَالنَّاسُ يَسْعَوْنَ قَالَ إِنْ أَمْشِ فَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَمْشِي وَإِنْ أَسْعَ فَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَسْعَى وَأَنَا شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about wisdom and age. It tells us that even though we may be old, we should still strive to do what is right and follow in the footsteps of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. In this case, Abdullah ibn Umar saw the Prophet ﷺ running between as-Safa and al-Marwah during Hajj rituals so even though he was too old to run himself, he chose to walk instead out of respect for his teacher. This teaches us that wisdom comes with age and it is important for us to use our experience wisely in order to make good decisions in life.
