حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مِسْكِينٌ، (يَعْنِي ابْنَ بُكَيْرٍ) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُهَاجِرٍ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي كَبْشَةَ السَّلُولِيِّ، عَنْ سَهْلِ ابْنِ الْحَنْظَلِيَّةِ

قَالَ: مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِبَعِيرٍ قَدْ لَحِقَ ظَهْرُهُ بِبَطْنِهِ، فَقَالَ: «اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ فِي هَذِهِ الْبَهَائِمِ الْمُعْجَمَةِ فَارْكَبُوهَا وَكُلُوهَا صَالِحَةً»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) came upon an emaciated camel and said: Fear Allah regarding these dumb animals. Ride them when they are in good condition and feed them when they are in good condition.

সাহল ইবনুল হানযালিয়্যাহ (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, একদা রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এমন একটি উটের কাছ দিয়ে যাচ্ছিলেন যে, অনাহারে উটটির পেট পিঠের সাথে লেগে গিয়েছিলো। তিনি বললেনঃ তোমরা এসব বাকশক্তিহীন পশুর ব্যাপারে আল্লাহকে বয় করো। সুস্থ সবল পশুর পিঠে আরোহণ করবে এবং এদেরকে উত্তমরূপে আহার করাবে।

سہل بن حنظلیہ رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ایک ایسے اونٹ کے پاس سے گزرے جس کا پیٹ اس کی پشت سے مل گیا تھا، تو آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: ان بے زبان چوپایوں کے سلسلے میں اللہ سے ڈرو، ان پر سواری بھلے طریقے سے کرو اور ان کو بھلے طریقے سے کھاؤ ۱؎ ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Muhammad An Nufaili], telah menceritakan kepada kami [Miskin bin Bukair], telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Muhajir], dari [Rabi'ah bin Yazid], dari [Abu Kabsyah As Saluli], dari [Sahl bin Al Hanzhaliyyah], ia berkata; Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam pernah melewati seekor unta punggungnya telah menempel dengan perutnya.

Kemudian beliau berkata: "Bertakwalah kepada Allah dalam merawat binatang-binatang ternak yang tidak bisa berbicara ini, dan tunggangilah dengan dalam keadaan layak, dan makanlah dalam keadaan layak

Sehl b. el-Hanzaliyye'den; demiştir ki: Rasûlullah (s.a.v.) (açlıktan) karnı sırtına yapışmış bir deveye rastladı da; "Bu dilsiz hayvanlar hakkında Allah'dan korkunuz. Onlara (binmeye) elverişli hallerinde bininiz ve (yenmeye) elverişli hallerinde onları yiyiniz,” buyurdu

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) saw a camel whose belly was touched to its back because of starvation, so he ordered kindness and gentleness in treating animals. It is incumbent upon a person to be kind to animals by not overburdening them beyond their ability, and not neglecting to feed them sufficient food and drink. So, when one rides them, let them be fit for riding, and when eats them, let them be fit for eating.
