Sunan Ibn Majah 2988 (Book 25, Hadith 107) #32342
Following the Example of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of following the example of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) in all aspects, even if it means going against one's own preferences.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "If I go quickly between Safa and Marwah, that is because I saw the Messenger of Allah going quickly, and if I walk that is because I saw the Messenger of Allah walking, even though I am an old man".
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَعَمْرُو بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ جُمْهَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ إِنْ أَسْعَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ فَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ يَسْعَى وَإِنْ أَمْشِ فَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ يَمْشِي وَأَنَا شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about following the example of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in all aspects, even if it means going against one's own preferences. It was narrated by Ibn 'Umar that he saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ going quickly between Safa and Marwah, so he followed his example and did likewise. Even though he was an old man, he still chose to follow what his beloved prophet did instead of doing what would be easier for him personally. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive to follow our beloved prophet’s example in every aspect and not just when it is convenient for us or when we feel like it. We should make a conscious effort to do as our prophet did no matter how difficult or inconvenient it may be for us personally.
