Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 10958 — Riding on the zakah camels

It is narrated from Salim, from Aslam, that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) sent him with zakah camels to the Hima (the reserved pasture). Aslam said: When I was about to return, he said: Present them to me. So I presented them to him, while I had loaded my baggage on one of the she-camels. He said (angrily): May you have no mother! You chose a she-camel that could keep a household of the Muslims alive, and loaded your baggage on it? Was there not a young male camel (ibn labun) that urinates a lot, or a she-camel with little milk (for this job)?
