حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْعُمَرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، وَعُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى الْعِيدِ مَاشِيًا وَيَرْجِعُ مَاشِيًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith tells us that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to go out for the 'Eid prayers walking and come back walking. This teaches us that we should not take transportation when going for religious activities such as prayer or Hajj. We should try our best to walk if it is possible so that we can get closer to Allah by performing physical worship in addition to spiritual worship. It also teaches us about moderation in life; even though he was a prophet, he still chose a moderate way of travelling instead of taking a luxurious ride or something like that.
