Hadith 15091

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ , حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ , عَنِ الْحَسَنِ , عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ , قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِذَا كُنْتُمْ فِي الْخِصْبِ , فَأَمْكِنُوا الرَّكْبَ أَسِنَّتَهَا , وَلَا تَعْدُوا الْمَنَازِلَ , وَإِذَا كُنْتُمْ فِي الْجَدْبِ فَاسْتَنْجُوا , وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالدُّلْجَةِ , فَإِنَّ الْأَرْضَ تُطْوَى بِاللَّيْلِ , فَإِذَا تَغَوَّلَتْ بِكُمُ الْغِيلَانُ فَبَادِرُوا بِالْأَذَانِ , وَلَا تُصَلُّوا عَلَى جَوَادِ الطُّرُقِ , وَلَا تَنْزِلُوا عَلَيْهَا , فَإِنَّهَا مَأْوَى الْحَيَّاتِ وَالسِّبَاعِ , وَلَا تَقْضُوا عَلَيْهَا الْحَوَائِجَ فَإِنَّهَا الْمَلَاعِنُ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When you travel through a lush and green area, let your mounts benefit from its greenery and do not go beyond the stop. And when you travel through dry land, then pass through it quickly, and in that case, prefer to travel at night, because at night it feels as if the earth is being folded up. And if you get lost on the way, then call the Adhan. Also, do not pray standing in the middle of the road, nor camp there, because those are the abodes of snakes and wild beasts, and do not relieve yourself there, for that is a cause of curse.
