Sunan Abi Dawud 2639 (Book 15, Hadith 163) #22929
Compassionate Traveling with the Prophet

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was kind and compassionate to those who were weak, and he would take them up behind him when travelling and make supplications for them.

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: The Messenger of Allah used to keep to the rear when travelling and urge on the weak. He would take someone up behind him and make supplication for them all.
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ شَوْكَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَهُمْ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَتَخَلَّفُ فِي الْمَسِيرِ فَيُزْجِي الضَّعِيفَ وَيُرْدِفُ وَيَدْعُو لَهُمْ
