Sahih al-Bukhari 6161 (Book 78, Hadith 187) #5916
Slow and Steady Wins the Race

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was travelling with a black slave called Anjasha and women riding on the camels. He instructed Anjasha to drive slowly so as not to break the glass vessels that the women were carrying.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah's Messenger was on a journey and he had a black slave called Anjasha, and he was driving the camels (very fast, and there were women riding on those camels). Allah's Messenger said, "Waihaka (May Allah be merciful to you), O Anjasha! Drive slowly (the camels) with the glass vessels (women)!"
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ،‏.‏ وَأَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فِي سَفَرٍ، وَكَانَ مَعَهُ غُلاَمٌ لَهُ أَسْوَدُ، يُقَالُ لَهُ أَنْجَشَةُ، يَحْدُو، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ وَيْحَكَ يَا أَنْجَشَةُ رُوَيْدَكَ بِالْقَوَارِيرِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how one should be careful when travelling with fragile items or people who are vulnerable. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was travelling with a black slave called Anjasha and women riding on camels. He instructed Anjasha to drive slowly so as not to break any of the glass vessels that they were carrying. This hadith teaches us that we should always take care when handling fragile items or people who are vulnerable and that slow and steady wins the race in such situations. We should also be mindful of our actions as it can have an effect on those around us even if we do not intend for it to happen.
