(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
حَسَنٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا
ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا
زَبَّانُ ، عَنْ
سَهْلِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ , عَنْ
أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , أَنَّهُ مَرَّ عَلَى قَوْمٍ وَهُمْ وُقُوفٌ عَلَى دَوَابَّ لَهُمْ وَرَوَاحِلَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " ارْكَبُوهَا سَالِمَةً , وَدَعُوهَا سَالِمَةً , وَلَا تَتَّخِذُوهَا كَرَاسِيَّ لِأَحَادِيثِكُمْ فِي الطُّرُقِ وَالْأَسْوَاقِ ، فَرُبَّ مَرْكُوبَةٍ خَيْرٌ مِنْ رَاكِبِهَا هِيَ أَكْثَرُ ذِكْرًا لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى مِنْهُ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'adh that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by some people who were standing by their animals and mounts. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them: "Ride the animals when they are healthy and sound, and leave them in the same condition. Do not consider them as chairs for conversation in the roads and markets, for many mounts are better and remember Allah more than those who ride them."
