Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him), the freed slave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was on a journey. He said: "We are travelling by night. No one whose mount is unruly or weak should travel by night." A man travelled by night on his unruly she-camel. He fell, his thigh bone broke, and he died. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that the funeral prayer be offered for him, and then he ordered a caller to announce among the people: "Paradise is not lawful for a disobedient person," and to make this announcement three times.
Imam Ahmad recorded it, and Imam Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. Ahmad's chain is hasan (good).
