Hadith 4959

Sahih

حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا سَافَرْتُمْ فِي الْخِصْبِ، فَأَعْطُوا الْإِبِلَ حَظَّهَا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ، وَإِذَا سَافَرْتُمْ فِي السَّنَةِ، فَأَسْرِعُوا عَلَيْهَا السَّيْرَ، وَإِذَا عَرَّسْتُمْ بِاللَّيْلِ، فَاجْتَنِبُوا الطَّرِيقَ، فَإِنَّهَا مَأْوَى الْهَوَامِّ بِاللَّيْلِ».

The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) said: When you journey through a fertile land, you should (go slow and) give the camels a chance to graze in the land. When you travel In an arid (land) where there is scarcity of vegetation, you should quicken their pace (lest your camels grow feeble and emaciated for lack of fodder). When you halt for the night, avoid (pitching your tent on) the road, for it is the abode of noxious little animals at night.

— It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira رضی اللہ عنہ
