Sahih Muslim 700a (Book 6, Hadith 41) #8766
Praying on the Move

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to pray on the back of his camel, no matter which direction it was going.

Ibn 'Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah used to say Nafl prayer on (the back of) his camel in whatever direction it took him.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَانَ يُصَلِّي سُبْحَتَهُ حَيْثُمَا تَوَجَّهَتْ بِهِ نَاقَتُهُ

QUICK LESSONS:
Make use of your time wisely for worshipping Allah SWT .
EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was known for his devotion to prayer and worship. He would often take time out of his day to perform voluntary prayers, or nafl prayers. On one occasion he was traveling on a camel and decided to use this time as an opportunity for prayer. No matter which direction the camel took him in, he would continue praying until he had finished. This teaches us that we should make use of our time wisely and not let any opportunity pass us by without taking advantage of it for worshiping Allah SWT. We should also be mindful that wherever we are or whatever we are doing, Allah SWT is always with us and watching over us so we should never forget Him even when traveling or busy with other activities.
