حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ
أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا اسْتَحْمَل رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : إِنِّي حَامِلُكَ عَلَى وَلَدِ النَّاقَةِ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، مَا أَصْنَعُ بِوَلَدِ النَّاقَةِ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :" وَهَلْ تَلِدُ الْإِبِلَ إِلَّا النُّوقُ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ .
´Anas narrated:` "A man sought a mount from the Messenger of Allah who said: 'Indeed, I will let you ride on a she-camel's child.' So he said: 'O Messenger of Allah! What can ashe-camel's child do?' So the Messenger of Allah said: 'Are camels borne from other than she-camels?'"

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
That is, a camel is indeed the offspring of a she-camel. In a similar manner, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) once said: (Lā tadkhulul-jannata ‘ajūz) — "An old woman will not enter Paradise." The meaning of this was that at the time of entering Paradise, every woman will be young. Likewise, regarding the statement of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam): "Indeed, I will carry you on the offspring of a she-camel," the same applies. The point is that if one reflects upon what the speaker is saying, then there would be no need for the question in the first place.

Benefits and Issues:
Good humor and joking are inherent to human nature; they bring cheerfulness to one’s disposition. And the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was also characterized by this, but in it there was nothing except truth and honesty. In contrast, whoever makes others laugh by lying commits a major sin.
