Jami at-Tirmidhi 2858 (Book 43, Hadith 135) #28505
Travelling with Consideration

SUMMARY: When travelling, it is important to take into consideration the land and environment you are in, and adjust your speed accordingly. It is also important to camp away from the roads at night.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: that the Messenger of Allah said: "When you travel through fertile land, then give the camels their fill of the land, and when you travel through drought, then hasten while they are fresh, and when you camp late, then stay away from the road, for indeed it is the route of the beasts and the abode of poisonous vermin in the night".
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا سَافَرْتُمْ فِي الْخِصْبِ فَأَعْطُوا الإِبِلَ حَظَّهَا مِنَ الأَرْضِ وَإِذَا سَافَرْتُمْ فِي السَّنَةِ فَبَادِرُوا بِنِقْيِهَا وَإِذَا عَرَّسْتُمْ فَاجْتَنِبُوا الطَّرِيقَ فَإِنَّهَا طُرُقُ الدَّوَابِّ وَمَأْوَى الْهَوَامِّ بِاللَّيْلِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ وَأَنَسٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us about how to travel properly and safely. It reminds us that when travelling through a fertile land, we should give our camels their fill of the land so they can be strong for the journey ahead. When travelling through drought, we should hasten while they are still fresh so that they do not become too tired or weak. Lastly, when camping late at night, it is best to stay away from roads as these are usually routes of beasts and home of poisonous vermin in the night time. These teachings remind us to be mindful of our environment when travelling and adjust our speed accordingly for safety reasons.
