Sunan Abi Dawud 1923 (Book 11, Hadith 203) #22215
The Prophet's Journey During His Farewell Pilgrimage

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's journey from 'Arafah to Al Muzdalifah during his Farewell Pilgrimage, and how he was travelling at a quick pace and urging on his Camel when he found an opening.

Hisham bin 'Urwah reported on the authority of his father Usamah bin Zaid was asked when I was sitting along with him, how did the Apostle of Allaah travel during the Farewell Pilgrimage when he proceeded from 'Arafah to Al Muzdalifah? He replied he was travelling at a quick pace and when he found an opening he urged on his Camel. Hisham said "Nass(running or urging on the Camel) is above 'anaq(going at a quick pace)".
حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ سُئِلَ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَأَنَا جَالِسٌ، كَيْفَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَسِيرُ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ حِينَ دَفَعَ قَالَ كَانَ يَسِيرُ الْعَنَقَ فَإِذَا وَجَدَ فَجْوَةً نَصَّ ‏.‏ قَالَ هِشَامٌ النَّصُّ فَوْقَ الْعَنَقِ
