Sahih Muslim 1322a (Book 15, Hadith 412) #10347
Respect for Sacrifices

SUMMARY: This hadith is about a person who was asked to ride on a sacrificial camel, but he refused because it was a sacrificial camel.

Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported that Allah's Messenger saw a person who was driving a sacrificial camel (and told him to ride on it. Thereupon he said: Messenger of Allah, it is a sacrificial camel. He told him again to ride on it; (when he received the same reply) he said: Woe to you, (he uttered these words on the second or the third reply).
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَأَى رَجُلاً يَسُوقُ بَدَنَةً فَقَالَ ‏"‏ ارْكَبْهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهَا بَدَنَةٌ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ ارْكَبْهَا وَيْلَكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ أَوْ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Show respect for things offered as sacrifices

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of respecting sacrifices. It tells us that even if something is offered as a sacrifice, we should still respect it and not refuse it. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ saw someone driving a sacrificial camel and asked him to ride on it, but the man refused because it was meant to be sacrificed. The Prophet ﷺ then said “Woe to you” in order to emphasize the importance of respecting sacrifices. We can learn from this hadith that we should always show respect for things that are offered as sacrifices and not take them lightly or refuse them out of hand. We should also remember that Allah loves those who show respect for His gifts and blessings, so we should strive to do our best in this regard.
