Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #27069

Qutaibah narrated to us, Abu Awanah narrated to us, on the authority of Qatada, on the authority of Anas, that the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, saw a man driving a camel and said to him, “Ride it.” “So he said, ‘O Messenger of God, it is a camel.’ He said to him on the third or fourth time, ‘Ride it, woe to you.’ Or, ‘Woe to you. “. He said, and on the authority of Ali, Abu Hurairah, and Jabir. Abu Issa said: The hadith of Anas is a good and authentic hadith. The people of knowledge among the companions of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and others, regarding riding a camel when he needs its back. This is the opinion of Al-Shafi’i and Ahmad. And Ishaq. Some of them said that he should not ride unless he is forced to.
