حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، قَالَ : شَهِدْتُ عَلِيًّا أُتِيَ بِدَابَّةٍ لِيَرْكَبَهَا ، فَلَمَّا وَضَعَ رِجْلَهُ فِي الرِّكَابِ ، قَالَ : " بِسْمِ اللَّهِ ثَلَاثًا ، فَلَمَّا اسْتَوَى عَلَى ظَهْرِهَا قَالَ : الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ { 13 } وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ { 14 } سورة الزخرف آية 13-14 ثُمَّ قَالَ : الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ثَلَاثًا ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ثَلَاثًا ، سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي قَدْ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ " ، ثُمَّ ضَحِكَ ، قُلْتُ : مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ ضَحِكْتَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَنَعَ كَمَا صَنَعْتُ ، ثُمَّ ضَحِكَ ، فَقُلْتُ : مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ ضَحِكْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَيَعْجَبُ مِنْ عَبْدِهِ إِذَا قَالَ : رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ غَيْرُكَ " ، وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
´Ali bin Rabi’ah said:` “I witnessed Ali having an animal brought to him to ride. When he placed his foot in the stirrup he said: ‘In the Name of Allah,’ (Bismillāh) [three times]. So then, once he had ascended upon its back, he said: ‘All praise is due to Allah.’ (Al-ḥamdulillāh) then he said: Glory is to Him Who has subjected this to us, and we were not able to do it. And, surely, to our Lord are we returning (Subḥān alladhī sakh-khara lanā hādhā wa mā kunnā lahū muqrinīn. Wa innā ilā rabbinā lamunqalibūn). Then he said: ‘All praise is due to Allah (Al-ḥamdulillāh)’ – three times – and ‘Allah is the Greatest (Allāhu Akbar)’ – three times – ‘Glory is to You, indeed I have wronged myself, so forgive me, for indeed none forgives sins except You (Subḥānaka innī qad ẓalamtu nafsī faghfirlī fa-innahū lā yaghfirudh-dhunūba illā ant).’ Then he laughed. So I said: ‘O Commander of the Believer! What caused you to laugh?’ He said: ‘I saw the Messenger of Allah do as I did, then he (ﷺ) laughed, so I said, ‘What cause you to laugh?’ He said: ‘Indeed, your Lord is very pleased with His worshipper when he says: “O my Lord, forgive me my sins, indeed, no one other than You forgives sins.”

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
This is not restricted only to a she-camel;
it is Sunnah to recite this supplication when mounting any ride,
as neither of the two hadiths in the chapter mention "she-camel."
In fact, in the second hadith, the word "ride" is used,
which applies to any means of conveyance.
2:
Glory be to the One Who has subjected this to us, for we could not have controlled it,
nor could we have put a halter on it,
nor bridled it;
and indeed, we are to return to our Lord.
3:
Glory be to You, O Allah! Indeed, I have wronged myself, so forgive me,
for none forgives sins except You.
Note:
(In the chain of narration, Abu Ishaq is a mixed-up narrator,
and thus his narration is also subject to confusion,
but due to corroborating narrations and supporting evidence, this hadith is considered sahih li-ghayrihi (authentic due to external evidence).

Sahih Abi Dawood, No. 2342)

Benefits and Issues:
Islam wishes to shape a person’s temperament in such a way that not a single moment of life passes in which he is heedless of his Creator and Master. One should express gratitude for Allah’s blessings in every circumstance. And likewise, it should be adopted in the same manner as the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) demonstrated. This should be followed to the extent possible.
