[Machine] He heard Anas saying that whenever the Prophet ﷺ returned from a journey and saw the walls of the city, he would put his camel or his mount into a faster pace, even if it was a female animal.
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسًا يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا قَدِمَ مِنْ سَفَرٍ فَأَبْصَرَ جُدْرَانَ الْمَدِينَةِ أَوْضَعَ نَاقَتَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ دَابَّةً حَرَّكَهَا

Anas said, "Whenever Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned from a journey, he, on seeing the high places of Medina, would make his she-camel proceed faster; and if it were another animal, even then he used to make it proceed faster." Narrated Humaid that the Prophet ﷺ used to make it proceed faster out of his love for Medina. Narrated Anas: As above, but mentioned "the walls of Medina" instead of "the high places of Medina." Al-Harith bin ʿUmar agrees with Anas.
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسًا ؓ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا قَدِمَ مِنْ سَفَرٍ فَأَبْصَرَ دَرَجَاتِ الْمَدِينَةِ أَوْضَعَ نَاقَتَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ دَابَّةً حَرَّكَهَا قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ زَادَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ حَرَّكَهَا مِنْ حُبِّهَا حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ جُدُرَاتٍ
Whenever the Prophet ﷺ returned from a journey and observed the walls of Medina, he would make his Mount go fast, and if he was on an animal (i.e. a horse), he would make it gallop because of his love for Medina. (Using translation from Bukhārī 1886)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا قَدِمَ مِنْ سَفَرٍ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى جُدْرَانِ الْمَدِينَةِ أَوْضَعَ رَاحِلَتَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ عَلَى دَابَّةٍ حَرَّكَهَا مِنْ حُبِّهَا
