Hadith 3797
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ أَبَانَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ، يَرْفَعُهُ قَالَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ رَفِيقٌ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ، وَيُعِينُ عَلَيْهِ مَا لَا يُعِينُ عَلَى الْعُنْفِ، إِذَا رَكِبْتُمْ هَذِهِ الدَّوَابَّ الْعُجْمَ فَأَنْزِلُوهَا مَنَازِلَهَا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ، فَإِنْ كَانَتِ الْأَرْضُ جَدْبَةً فَانْجُوا عَلَيْهَا بِنِقْيِهَا، وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالتَّعْرِيسَ فِي الطُّرُقِ، فَإِنَّهَا مَأْوَى الْحَيَّاتِ وَالدَّوَابِّ»
It is narrated marfu‘an from Sayyiduna Khalid bin Ma‘dan (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Indeed, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, is gentle and loves gentleness, and He grants through gentleness what He does not grant through harshness. When you ride these mute animals (mounts), let them dismount at suitable places on the ground. And if the land is barren (i.e., there is no grass), then quickly move them along on the clean parts of their bodies. And you should not sleep on the roads, for the roads are the dwelling places of snakes and wild beasts.”
