حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَمِّهِ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ
وَسُئِلَ: يَرْكَبُ الرَّجُلُ هَدْيَهُ ? - فَقَالَ: لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ، قَدْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَمُرُّ بِالرِّجَالِ يَمْشُونَ، فَيَأْمُرُهُمْ يَرْكَبُونَ هَدْيَهُ، هَدْيَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، قَالَ: وَلَا تَتَّبِعُونَ شَيْئًا أَفْضَلَ مِنْ سُنَّةِ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ

✧ And he was asked: May a man ride his sacrificial animal? He replied: There is no harm in it. The Prophet ﷺ used to pass by men who were walking and would order them to ride his sacrificial animals—the sacrificial animals of the Prophet ﷺ. He said: And you are not following anything better than the Sunnah of your Prophet ﷺ.
