اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ حَمْزَةَ الضَّبِيِّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا إِذَا نَزَلْنَا مَنْزِلًا لَا نُسَبِّحُ حَتَّى نَحُلَّ الرِّحَالُ .
Narrated Anas ibn Malik: When we alighted at a station (for stay), we did not pray until we united the saddles of the camels.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
Just as a human being is in need of rest and comfort,
in the same way, animals should also be cared for.
For this reason, some scholars consider it recommended (mustahabb)
that when a person stops at a place (on a journey), he should first feed his animal, and then eat himself.
These teachings are evidence that Islam is a religion of nature (din al-fitrah) and a universal religion.
