وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ : حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : إِنَّ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : مَرَّ بِقَوْمٍ قَدْ أَنَاخُوا بَعِيرًا فَحَمَّلُوهُ غِرَارَتَيْنِ ، ثُمَّ عَلَوْهُ بِأُخْرَى فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعِ الْبَعِيرُ أَنْ يَنْهَضَ ، فَأَلْقَاهَا عَنْهُ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ أَنْهَضَهُ ، فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : إِنْ غَفَرَ اللهُ لَكُمْ مَا تَأْتُونَ إِلَى الْبَهَائِمِ لَيَغْفِرَنَّ عَظِيمًا ، إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : إِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى يُوصِيكُمْ بِهَذِهِ الْعُجْمِ خَيْرًا ، أَنْ تُنْزِلُوا بِهَا مَنَازِلَهَا ، فَإِذَا أَصَابَتْكُمْ سَنَةٌ أَنْ تُنَحُّوا عَنْهَا نِقْيَهَا .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ مَرْفُوعًا : لَوْ غُفِرَ لَكُمْ مَا تَأْتُونَ إِلَى الْبَهَائِمِ لَغُفِرَ لَكُمْ كَثِيرًا .

It is narrated from Yahya bin Jabir (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by some people who had made a camel kneel and had (already) loaded two large sacks (ghiraratayn) onto it, then they put another sack on top of them. The camel did not have the strength to get up (under the load), so Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) removed that (extra) sack from it, threw it down, and then raised the camel up.
Then Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) said (to those people): "If Allah Almighty forgives you for the things you do to these voiceless animals, then know that He has forgiven you very great sins. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Indeed Allah Almighty enjoins you to show goodwill and kindness to these voiceless animals: (on a journey) set them down at their proper halting places (give them rest), and if it is a time of drought, look after them while preserving the last of their strength.'"
(Imam Ahmad also narrated it through another chain, from Abu Idris al-Khawlani from Abu al-Darda', as a marfu' report, that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If what (harshness) you do to animals were forgiven, many of your sins would be forgiven.")
