Silsilah as-Sahihah 2081 — Animal rights

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "When you come upon green and lush land, dismount from your riding animal and let it graze, and when you come upon drought-stricken land, then ride on, and travel at night, for the distance of the land becomes shorter at night."
