Messenger of Allah, it is a sacrificial camel. He told him again to ride on it; (when he received the same reply) he said: Woe to you, (he uttered these words on the second or the third reply).  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَأَى رَجُلاً يَسُوقُ بَدَنَةً فَقَالَ ارْكَبْهَا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهَا بَدَنَةٌ فَقَالَ ارْكَبْهَا وَيْلَكَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ أَوْ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ  

" Whereas the person was driving a sacrificial camel which was garlanded."  

وَقَالَ بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ يَسُوقُ بَدَنَةً مُقَلَّدَةً  

It is one out of these (narrations) that Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) narrated to us from Muhammad the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he narrated to us traditions out of which is that he said: When there was a person who was driving a garlanded sacrificial camel, Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: Woe to you; ride on it. He said: Messenger of Allah, it is a sacrificial animal, whereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Woe to you, ride on it; woe to you, ride on it.  

عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ أَحَادِيثَ مِنْهَا وَقَالَ بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ يَسُوقُ بَدَنَةً مُقَلَّدَةً قَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَيْلَكَ ارْكَبْهَا فَقَالَ بَدَنَةٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَيْلَكَ ارْكَبْهَا وَيْلَكَ ارْكَبْهَا  

Ride on It. He said: It is a sacrificial camel. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said twice or thrice: Ride on it.  

وَأَظُنُّنِي قَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ أَنَسٍ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِرَجُلٍ يَسُوقُ بَدَنَةً فَقَالَ ارْكَبْهَا فَقَالَ إِنَّهَا بَدَنَةٌ قَالَ ارْكَبْهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثًا  

Someone happened to pass by Allah's Apostle ﷺ with a sacrificial camel, or a sacrificial animal, whereupon he said: Ride on it. He said: It is a sacrificial camel, or animal, whereupon he said: (Ride) even if (it is a sacrificial camel).  

سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ مُرَّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِبَدَنَةٍ أَوْ هَدِيَّةٍ فَقَالَ ارْكَبْهَا قَالَ إِنَّهَا بَدَنَةٌ أَوْ هَدِيَّةٌ فَقَالَ وَإِنْ  

There happened to pass (a person) with a sacrificial camel by Allah's Apostle ﷺ and the rest of the hadith is the same.  

سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا يَقُولُ مُرَّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِبَدَنَةٍ فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ  

I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Ride on it gently, when you have need for it, until you find (another) mount.  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ ارْكَبْهَا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ إِذَا أُلْجِئْتَ إِلَيْهَا حَتَّى تَجِدَ ظَهْرًا  

I asked Jabir (Allah be pleased with him) about riding on the sacrificial animal, to which he replied: I heard Allah's Apostle ﷺ as saying: Ride on them gently until you find another mount.  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ ارْكَبْهَا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ حَتَّى تَجِدَ ظَهْرًا
