"غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ وَكَانَ قَدْ أَعْطَى كُلَّ ثَلَاثةٍ منَّا بَعِيرًا، يَرْكَبُهُ اثْنَانِ، وَيَسُوقُهُ وَاحِدٌ فِ الصَحَارَى، وَيَنْزِلُ في الْجِبَالِ، فَمَرَّ بِى رَسُولُ الله ﷺ وَأَنَا أَمْشِى. فَقَالَ لِى: أَرَاكَ يَا رَبَاحُ مَاشِيًا، فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّمَا نَزَلْتُ السَّاعَةَ وَهَذَانِ صَاحِبَاىَ قَدْ رَكِبَا، فَمَرَّ بِصَاحِبَىَّ فَأَنَاخَا بِعِيرَهُمَا فَنَزَلَا عَنْهُ، فَلَمَّا انْتَهَيْتُ قَالَا: ارْكَبْ صَدْرَ هَذَا الْبَعِيرِ لا تَزَالُ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى تَرْجعَ، وَنَعْتَقِب (* * *) أَنَا وَصَاحِبى، قُلْتُ: وَلِمَ؟ ، قَالَا: قَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : إِنَّ لَكُمَا رَفِيقًا صَالِحًا فَأَحْسِنَا صُحْبَتَهُ".

[Machine] "We participated in a military expedition with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He had given each group of three of us a camel, with two of us riding it and one leading it in the deserts, while we drove it in the mountains. As the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by me while I was walking, he said to me, 'I see you, O Rabaah, walking.' I replied, 'Indeed, I am doing so because I have alighted upon the hour [of rest], and these two companions of mine have ridden [the camel].' Then he moved on and passed by my two companions. They dismounted from their camels and took a rest. When they were done, they said to me, 'Mount the front part of this camel and remain on it until we return and we will take turns.' I asked, 'Why?' They replied, 'Because the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, you two have a good companion, so treat him well."' "
