أن رسول الله صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم رأى رجلا يسوق بدنة فقال: اركبها فقال: يا رسول الله! إنها بدنة فقال: اركبها فقال: يا رسول الله! إنها بدنة فقال: ويلك فى الثانية أو الثالثة.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah Radi Allahu Anhu that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw a man walking while leading a sacrificial animal and said: Ride on it. He said: O Messenger of Allah! This is a sacrificial animal. He said: Ride on it. He said: O Messenger of Allah! This is a sacrificial animal. Then he said the second or third time: May you be ruined (ride on it).
