Sunan Abu Dawud 2567 — Regarding Remaining Halted Aton An Animal
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَيَّاشٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرٍو السَّيْبَانِيِّ ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " إِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ تَتَّخِذُوا ظُهُورَ دَوَابِّكُمْ مَنَابِرَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ إِنَّمَا سَخَّرَهَا لَكُمْ لِتُبَلِّغَكُمْ إِلَى بَلَدٍ لَمْ تَكُونُوا بَالِغِيهِ إِلَّا بِشِقِّ الْأَنْفُسِ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ فَعَلَيْهَا فَاقْضُوا حَاجَتَكُمْ " .
Abu Hurairah reported the Prophet ﷺ as saying “Do not treat the backs of your beasts as pulpits, for Allaah has made them subject to you only to convey you to a town which you cannot reach without difficulty and He has appointed the earth (a floor to work) for you, so conduct your business on it.
Brief Explanation
1؎: Sitting on a mount without necessity, and sitting while beating, striking, or causing it pain, is not correct. However, if this sitting is for the attainment of some purpose, then there is no harm, because it is established that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) delivered a sermon while standing on his mount during the Farewell Pilgrimage (Hajjat al-Wada’).
