(Book 20, Hadith 140) #35903
Riding Animals for Sacrifice

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) saw a man driving a camel he was going to sacrifice and told him to ride it instead.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z Zinad from al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, saw a man driving forward a camel which he was going to sacrifice, and he told him to ride it. The man said, "Messenger of Allah, it is an animal that I am going to sacrifice," and he replied, "Ride it, woe on you," either the second or the third time.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَأَى رَجُلاً يَسُوقُ بَدَنَةً فَقَالَ ‏"‏ ارْكَبْهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهَا بَدَنَةٌ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ ارْكَبْهَا وَيْلَكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ أَوِ الثَّالِثَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of treating animals with kindness and respect. The Prophet Muhammad saw a man driving forward a camel which he was going to sacrifice and told him to ride it instead. He repeated this command three times in order for the man to understand that riding an animal is better than pushing or dragging it. This hadith teaches us that we should be kind and gentle when dealing with animals as they are living creatures too. We should not mistreat them or push them around but rather treat them with respect as Allah has created them just like us. It also teaches us that we should be mindful of our actions even when dealing with animals as Allah will take into account how we treat all of His creations on the Day of Judgment.
