حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ ابْنَا أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ الْبَزَّازُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ عَنِ الْبَدَاوَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَبْدُو إِلَى هَذِهِ التِّلَاعِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنَّهُ أَرَادَ الْبَدَاوَةَ مَرَّةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ نَاقَةً مُحَرَّمَةً مِنْ إِبِلِ الصَّدَقَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لِي:‏‏‏‏ يَا عَائِشَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ارْفُقِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنَّ الرِّفْقَ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي شَيْءٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا زَانَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا نُزِعَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا شَانَهُ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ ابْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ فِي حَدِيثِهِ:‏‏‏‏ مُحَرَّمَةٌ يَعْنِي:‏‏‏‏ لَمْ تُرْكَبْ.

I asked Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا about living in the desert. She said: The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم used to go to the desert to these rivulets. Once he intended to go to the desert and he sent to me a she-camel from the camel of sadaqah which had not been used for riding so far. He said to me: Aishah! show gentleness, for if gentleness is found in anything, it beautifies it and when it is taken out from anything it damages it. Ibn al-Sabbah said in his version: Muharramah means a mount which has not been used for riding.
