Hadith 12704

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ قَالَ أَقْبَلْتُ مِنْ مَسْجِدِ بَنِي عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ بِقُبَاءَ عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ لِي قَدْ صَلَّيْتُ فِيهِ فَلَقِيتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ مَاشِيًا فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُ نَزَلْتُ عَنْ بَغْلَتِي ثُمَّ قُلْتُ ارْكَبْ أَيْ عَمِّ قَالَ أَيِ ابْنَ أَخِي لَوْ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَرْكَبَ الدَّوَابَّ لَرَكِبْتُ وَلَكِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمْشِي إِلَى هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُ فَيُصَلِّيَ فِيهِ فَأَنَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَمْشِيَ إِلَيْهِ كَمَا رَأَيْتُهُ يَمْشِي قَالَ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَرْكَبَ وَمَضَى عَلَى وَجْهِهِ
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Qais, he says: I had offered prayer in the mosque of Banu Amr bin Auf located in Quba, and was returning riding my mule. On the way, I met Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) walking on foot. When I saw him, I dismounted from my mule and said: Uncle! Please ride on this. He said: Nephew! If I wanted to ride, I could have done so, but I have seen the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) walking on foot towards this mosque, and he went there and offered prayer. So I prefer to go on foot just as I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) going on foot, and he refused to ride and continued on his way as such.
