Ibrahim bin Uqabah said “Kuraib told me that he asked Umamah bin Zaid saying tell me how you did in the evening when you rode behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said “We came to the valley where the people make their Camels kneel down to take rest at night. ” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made his she Camel kneel down and he then urinated. He then called for water for ablution and performed the ablution but he did not perform minutely (but performed lightly). I asked Messenger of Allah ﷺ, prayer? He replied “Prayer ahead of you”. He then mounted (the Camel) till we came to Al Muzadalifah. There iqamah for the sunset prayer was called. The people then made their Camels kneel down at their places. The Camels were not unloaded as yet, iqamah for the night prayers was called and he prayed. The people then unloaded the Camels. The narrator Muhammad added in his version of the tradition How did you do when the morning came? He replied Al Fadl rode behind him and I walked on foot among the people of the Quraish who went ahead.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
1921. Commentary: In Muzdalifah, the Maghrib and Isha prayers were performed combined. Seating the mounts between the two prayers was either for the sake of kindness towards the animals or to prevent them from scattering. In any case, this minor act cannot be considered contrary to (the practice of) combining the two prayers (jam‘ bayn al-salatayn).

Benefit:
In this hadith, certain etiquettes of driving are mentioned: when the road is empty, one should increase the speed of the ride, whereas in a crowded place, one should proceed at a moderate pace—therein lies goodness. Some people drive so fast that Allah’s protection is sought; in fact, they appear to be wronging their own souls. The term "riding behind" refers to the passenger seated at the back of the ride.
