"إِنَّ الْمَلائِكَةَ كَانَتْ تَمْشِى، فَلَمْ أَكُنْ لأَرْكَبَ وَهُمْ يَمْشُونَ فَلمَّا ذهَبُوا رَكِبْتُ".  

[د] أبو داود [ك] الحاكم في المستدرك [ق] البيهقى في السنن عن ثوبان: أَن رسول الله ﷺ أُتِى بَدَابَّةٍ، وَهُو مَعَ الْجَنَازَة، فَأَبى أَنْ يَرْكبَهَا، فَلمَّا انْصَرَفَ أُتِىَ بدَابَّةٍ فَرَكِبَ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ، قال فذكره

An animal was brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was going with a funeral. He refused to ride on it. When the funeral was away, the animal was brought to him and he rode on it. He was asked about it. He said: The angels were on their feet. I was not to ride while they were walking. When they went away, I rode.
