Sahih al-Bukhari 2754 (Book 55, Hadith 17) #2633
Riding Sacrificial Camels

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) saw a man driving a camel for sacrifice and asked him to ride on it.

Narrated Anas: The Prophet saw a man driving a Badana (ie camel for sacrifice) and said to him, "Ride on it". The man said, "O Allah's Messenger ! It is a Badana". (The Prophet repeated his order) and on the third or fourth time he said, "Ride it, (woe to you" or said: "May Allah be merciful to you).
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ رَأَى رَجُلاً يَسُوقُ بَدَنَةً، فَقَالَ لَهُ ‏"‏ ارْكَبْهَا ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهَا بَدَنَةٌ‏.‏ قَالَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ أَوِ الرَّابِعَةِ ‏"‏ ارْكَبْهَا، وَيْلَكَ، أَوْ وَيْحَكَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Be kind and respectful when giving orders or instructions

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of mercy and kindness, even when giving orders. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ saw a man driving a camel for sacrifice and asked him to ride on it. When the man said that it was meant for sacrifice, the Prophet repeated his order three or four times before finally saying “Ride it, woe to you” or “May Allah be merciful to you”. This shows us that even when giving orders, we should do so with kindness and mercy in our hearts. We should also remember that Allah is always merciful towards us no matter what mistakes we make in life.

The lesson here is that we should always be kind and merciful towards others, especially when giving orders or instructions. We should also remember that Allah is always merciful towards us no matter what mistakes we make in life.
