[Machine] "He heard her saying, 'I was riding a difficult camel, so I started hitting it.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, 'Be gentle, for gentleness beautifies everything and is not removed from anything without spoiling it.'"

أحمد:٢٤٩٣٨ – حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ مِقْدَامِ بْنِ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهَا تَقُولُ كُنْتُ عَلَى بَعِيرٍ صَعْبٍ فَجَعَلْتُ أَضْرِبُهُ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَيْكِ بِالرِّفْقِ فَإِنَّ الرِّفْقَ لَا يَكُونُ فِي شَيْءٍ إِلَّا زَانَهُ وَلَا يُنْزَعُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا شَانَهُ

ahmad:25386 – Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar > Shuʿbah > al-Miqdām b. Shurayḥ b. Hāniʾ from his father > ʿĀʾishah

[Machine] Aisha rode a camel and it was difficult for her, so she started complaining. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her, "Be gentle, for verily, gentleness is not in anything except that it beautifies it, and it is not removed from anything except that it tarnishes it."

أحمد:٢٥٣٨٦ – حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْمِقْدَامَ بْنَ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ هَانِىءٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَ

رَكِبَتْ عَائِشَةُ بَعِيرًا فَكَانَ مِنْهُ صُعُوبَةٌ فَجَعَلَتْ تُرَدِّدُهُ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَيْكِ بِالرِّفْقِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَكُ فِي شَيْءٍ إِلَّا زَانَهُ وَلَا يُنْزَعُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا شَانَهُ
