Musnad Abi Ya'la 3532 — the Prophet ﷺ saw an old man being walked
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنَّهُ رَأَى شَيْخًا يُهَادَى بَيْنَ ابْنَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ : مَا بَالُ هَذَا ؟ فَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، نَذَرَ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ اللهَ غَنِيٌّ عَنْ تَعْذِيبِ هَذَا نَفْسَهُ ، يَعْنِي : ثُمَّ أَمَرَهُ فَرَكِبَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw an old man being walked along between his two sons (who were supporting him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What is the matter with this man?" The people said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he has vowed to walk (to the House of Allah)." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty has no need of this man putting himself through hardship and torment." The narrator said: Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him, and he rode.
