ahmad:17939Yaʿqūb from my father > Ibn Isḥāq > Muḥammad b. Ibrāhīm b. al-Ḥārith

[Machine] We carried the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on camels from the camels of charity, weak ones, to go to Hajj. We said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, these camels are weak, we fear that they will not carry us." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Every camel has a devil in its hump, so ride them and mention the name of Allah over them as you have been commanded. Then take care of them for yourselves, for Allah alone carries."  

أحمد:١٧٩٣٩حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنْ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ وَكَانَ ثِقَةً عَنِ أَبِي لَاسٍ الْخُزَاعِيِّ قَالَ

حَمَلَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى إِبِلٍ مِنْ إِبِلِ الصَّدَقَةِ ضِعَافٍ إِلَى الْحَجِّ قَالَ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْإِبِلَ ضِعَافٌ نَخْشَى أَنْ لَا تَحْمِلَنَا قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا مِنْ بَعِيرٍ إِلَّا فِي ذُرْوَتِهِ شَيْطَانٌ فَارْكَبُوهُنَّ وَاذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللهِ عَلَيْهِنَّ كَمَا أُمِرْتُمْ ثُمَّ امْتَهِنُوهُنَّ لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ فَإِنَّمَا يَحْمِلُ اللهُ
