Chapter on encouragement to be gentle with animals
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 9201 — on encouragement to be gentle with animals
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْبَادِيَةِ إِلَى إِبِلِ الصَّدَقَةِ فَأَعْطَى نِسَاءَهُ بَعِيرًا غَيْرِي فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَعْطَيْتَهُنَّ بَعِيرًا بَعِيرًا غَيْرِي فَأَعْطَانِي بَعِيرًا آدَمَ صَعْبًا لَمْ يُرْكَبْ عَلَيْهِ (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ فَجَعَلْتُ أَضْرِبُهُ فَقَالَ يَا عَائِشَةُ ارْفُقِي بِهِ فَإِنَّ الرِّفْقَ لَا يُخَالِطُ شَيْئًا إِلَّا زَانَهُ وَلَا يُفَارِقُ شَيْئًا إِلَّا شَانَهُ)
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) once went to the camels of charity in the wilderness and gave a camel to all his wives except me. I said: O Messenger of Allah! You have given a camel to everyone except me? So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me a tough camel, which had not yet been ridden. I began to beat it, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Aisha! Be gentle, because gentleness adorns whatever it is in, and when gentleness is removed from something, it makes it defective.
