عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَمِّهِ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَسُئِلَ يَرْكَبُ الرَّجُلُ هَدْيَهُ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ قَدْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمُرُّ بِالرِّجَالِ يَمْشُونَ فَيَأْمُرُهُمْ يَرْكَبُونَ هَدْيَهُ وَهَدْيَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا شَيْئًا أَفْضَلَ مِنْ سُنَّةِ نَبِيِّكُمْ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ
Ubaidullah narrates from his uncle that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked whether a person can ride his sacrificial animal (hadi). He replied: There is no harm in it. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would pass by people who were walking and would instruct them to ride on my sacrificial animal and his own sacrificial animal. Then he said: There is nothing more virtuous for you to follow than the Sunnah of your Prophet.
