Hadith 4998

حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدٌ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، " أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، احْمِلْنِي , قال النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّا حَامِلُوكَ عَلَى وَلَدِ نَاقَةٍ , قال : وَمَا أَصْنَعُ بِوَلَدِ النَّاقَةِ , فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : وَهَلْ تَلِدُ الْإِبِلَ إِلَّا النُّوقُ ".
Narrated Anas ibn Malik: A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah! give me a mount. The Prophet ﷺ said: We shall give you a she-camel's child to ride on. He said: What shall I do with a she-camel's child? The Prophet ﷺ replied: Do any others than she-camels give birth to camels?

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
Good humor and joking are inherent to human nature; they bring cheerfulness to one’s disposition. And the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was also characterized by this, but in it there was nothing except truth and honesty. In contrast, whoever makes others laugh by lying commits a major sin.

Explanation:
1:
That is, a camel is indeed the offspring of a she-camel. In a similar manner, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) once said: (Lā tadkhulul-jannata ‘ajūz) — "An old woman will not enter Paradise." The meaning of this was that at the time of entering Paradise, every woman will be young. Likewise, regarding the statement of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam): "Indeed, I will carry you on the offspring of a she-camel," the same applies. The point is that if one reflects upon what the speaker is saying, then there would be no need for the question in the first place.
