Riding on the zakah camels

Abd al-Rahman bin Amr bin Sahl said: I saw Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) on the road to Makkah, and the zakah livestock were being driven along with him. Sayyiduna Uthman would mount a stranded traveller on foot on them.

Sharik bin Namlah said: Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) sent me to collect the sadaqah and zakah, and my brother came along with me. He said: I mounted my brother on a camel, and I said: If Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) permits it, (well and good); otherwise it is from my own property. When I returned, I told Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) my brother's story, and he said: You too have a share in it.

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)?
