Sunan Abi Dawud 1920 (Book 11, Hadith 200) #22212
Preserving a Quiet Demeanor for Piety

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that piety does not consist of driving horses and camels quickly, but rather in preserving a quiet demeanor.

Ibn 'Abbas said The Apostle of Allaah returned from 'Arafah preserving a quiet demeanor and he took Usamah up behind him (on the Camel). He said "O people preserve a quiet demeanor for piety does not consist in exciting the Horses and the Camels (ie, in driving them quickly)". He (Ibn 'Abbas) said "Thereafter I did not see them raising their hands running quickly till he came to Al Muzdalifah". The narrator Wahb added He took Al Fadl bin 'Abbas up behind him (on the Camel) and said O people piety does not consist in exciting the Horses and the Camels (ie, in driving them quickly), you must preserve a quiet demeanor". He (Ibn 'Abbas) said "Thereafter I did not see them raising their hands till he came to Mina".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَيَانٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبِيدَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ الأَعْمَشُ، - الْمَعْنَى - عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ مِقْسَمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ أَفَاضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مِنْ عَرَفَةَ وَعَلَيْهِ السَّكِينَةُ وَرَدِيفُهُ أُسَامَةُ وَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالسَّكِينَةِ فَإِنَّ الْبِرَّ لَيْسَ بِإِيجَافِ الْخَيْلِ وَالإِبِلِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَمَا رَأَيْتُهَا رَافِعَةً يَدَيْهَا عَادِيَةً حَتَّى أَتَى جَمْعًا ‏.‏ زَادَ وَهْبٌ ثُمَّ أَرْدَفَ الْفَضْلَ بْنَ الْعَبَّاسِ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ الْبِرَّ لَيْسَ بِإِيجَافِ الْخَيْلِ وَالإِبِلِ فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالسَّكِينَةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَمَا رَأَيْتُهَا رَافِعَةً يَدَيْهَا حَتَّى أَتَى مِنًى
