٦٢۔ كِتَابُ السَّبْقِ وَالرَّمْيِ
[Machine] A horse was gifted to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ . He rode it and Ali said, "If we load the red camels onto the horses, we would have something similar to this." The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Indeed, only those who do not know would do such a thing."
أُهْدِيَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بَغْلَةٌ فَرَكِبَهَا فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ لَوْ حَمَلْنَا الْحُمُرَ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ فَكَانَ لَنَا مِثْلُ هَذِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّمَا يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
[Machine] It was gifted to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a camel that impressed us, so I said, "O Messenger of Allah, should we not replace our horses with camels until we acquire ones like this?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, only those who do not know do such a thing, and it is so."
أُهْدِيَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بَغْلَةٌ فَأَعْجَبَتْنَا فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَا نُنْزِي الْحُمُرَ عَلَى خَيْلِنَا حَتَّى تَأْتِيَ بِمِثْلِ هَذِهِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّمَا يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ وَكَذَلِكَ
[Machine] When the owner of Ayyilah or Farwah presented his white riding camel to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , I said, "O Messenger of Allah, if we decorate the bedouin horses with red blankets, wouldn't we receive something similar to this?" He replied, "Only those who are ignorant do such things." And it has been narrated in another report from Ali (may Allah be pleased with him).
لَمَّا أَهْدَى صَاحِبُ أَيْلَةَ أَوْ فَرْوَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بَغْلَتَهُ الْبَيْضَاءَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَوْ أَنْزَيْنَا الْحُمُرَ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ الْعِرَابِ لَجَاءَنَا مِثْلُ هَذِهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ
A male or female mule was given to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as a gift. I said: What is this? He said: ʿA mule.ʿ I said: Where does it come from? He said: ʿFrom mating a male donkey with a mare, and this is what is produced.ʿ I said: Should we mate [a donkey] with [a mare]? He said: ʿNo, this is only done by those who do not know.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 766)
أُهْدِيَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ بَغْلَةٌ أَوْ بَغْلٌ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا هَذَا؟ قَالَ بَغْلٌ أَوْ بَغْلَةٌ يُنْزَى الْحِمَارُ عَلَى الْفَرَسِ فَيَخْرُجُ هَذَا مِنْ بَيْنِهِمَا فَقُلْتُ نُنْزِي فُلَانًا عَلَى فُلَانَةَ؟ قَالَ إِنَّمَا يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
[Machine] Narrated Abdullah bin Abbas: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to perform ablution properly and prohibited us from eating charity or giving it to needy persons who ride on horses or produce derived from horses. This was narrated by Al-Thawri in this chain of narration from Ubaidullah. Similarly, Hammad bin Salamah narrated it from him, as reported by Tayalis. And indeed, he is Abdullah bin Ubaidullah bin Abbas. And likewise.
أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِإِسْبَاغِ الْوُضُوءِ وَنَهَانَا وَلَا أَقُولُ نَهَاكُمْ أَنْ نَأْكُلَ الصَّدَقَةَ وَلَا نُنْزِيَ حِمَارًا عَلَى فَرَسٍ كَذَا قَالَهُ الثَّوْرِيُّ فِي هَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عُبَيْدُ اللهِ وَكَذَلِكَ قَالَهُ حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ فِيمَا رَوَى عَنْهُ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَكَذَلِكَ
"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was a slave (of Allah), who would order as he has ben ordered to. He did not give an order to us instead of the people regarding anything except for three: He ordered us that we make our Wudu' well (Isbagh), that we not eat from charity, and the we not mate a donkey with a horse." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1701)
رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَا اخْتَصَّنَا دُونَ النَّاسِ بِشَيْءٍ إِلَّا بِثَلَاثِ خِصَالٍ أَمَرَنَا أَنْ نُسْبِغَ الْوُضُوءَ وَأَنْ لَا نَأْكُلَ الصَّدَقَةَ وَأَنْ لَا نُنْزِيَ الْحِمَارَ عَلَى الْفَرَسِ
