Machine translation, not reviewed

The Prophet ﷺ met a group of people among whom was a camel-driver chanting. When they saw the Prophet ﷺ, their driver fell silent. He said: "Who are the people?" They said: "From Muḍar." The Prophet ﷺ said: "And I am from Muḍar." Then he said: "What is the matter with your driver, that he does not chant?" They said: "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ [1], we were the first of the Arabs to chant." He said: "And what was that [2]?" They said: "A man from among us - and they named him - was away with some camels of his [3] in the days of spring, so he sent a servant boy of his with the camels. The boy was slow, then he came, and the man began striking his hand with a staff. The boy went off saying: 'Oh my hand! Oh my hand!' The camels then stirred and became lively. So the man said to him: 'Hold on, hold on.' Thus the people began the chanting."
