Musnad Abi Ya'la 3881 — the Prophet ﷺ saw an elderly man walking
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 ، فَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، نَذَرَ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ اللهَ عَنْ تَعْذِيبِ هَذَا نَفْسَهُ لَغَنِيٌّ ، 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 elderly man walking between his two sons (supported by them). The people said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! He vowed to walk." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty has no need of this man tormenting himself (in this way)." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to ride, and he rode.
