Riyad as-Salihin - On the adab of Travelling, Stopping, Spending the Night and Sleeping on the Journey Hadith

Chapter: On the adab of
Travelling, Stopping, Spending the Night and Sleeping on the Journey. The
recommendation to travel by night and to be kind to animals and see to their
best interests

 

962. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "When you travel at a time of fertility, then give
the camel its share of the earth. When you travel at an arid time, then travel
quickly on it and hurry before its hump disappears. When you camp at night,
avoid the roadway. Roads are the paths of animals and the refuge of reptiles at
night." [Muslim]

963. Abu Qatada said, "When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, was on a journey, he would stop during the night, lying down on
his right side. When he stopped during the night and it was close to the time of
Subh, he would set his arm upright and put his head on his palm." [Muslim]

Scholars say that he put up his arm so that he would not sleep deeply and
miss the Subh prayer at its time, or the beginning of its time.

964. Anas reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "You should travel during the night. The earth is rolled up at
night." [Abu Dawud]

965. Abu Tha'laba al-Khushani said, "When people alighted in a place, they
would go off separately, going off into the ravines and valleys. The Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Your going off
separately into these ravines and valleys comes from Shaytan.' Then after that
they would always group together when they alighted in a place." [Abu Dawud]

966. Sahl ibn 'Amr (and it is said Sahl ibn ar-Rabi' ibn 'Amr al-Ansari),
known as Ibn al-Hanzala, who was one of the people of the Pledge of Ridwan.
said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, passed
by a camel whose back was sticking to its belly and said, 'Fear Allah in respect
of these dumb animals. Ride them in good condition and eat them in good
condition." [Abu Dawud]

967. Abu Ja'far 'Abdullah ibn Ja'far said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, had me ride behind him one day and he confided to
me something which I will not relate to anyone else. The place which the
Messenger of Allah liked best for concealing himself when answering a call of
nature was a high barrier of some kind or a palm enclosure, i.e. a palm garden."
[Muslim]

Al-Barqani added to it after his words, "a palm enclosure," "He entered a
garden belonging to one of the Ansar. There was a camel there. When it saw the
Messenger of Allah, it made a noise and its eyes started watering. The Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came to it and stroked its back - i.e.
its hump and behind its ears - and then it calmed down. He said, 'Who is the
owner of this camel? To whom does this camel belong?' A boy of the Ansar came
and said, 'It is mine, Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'Do you not fear Allah
regarding this animal over which Allah has given you power? It complains to me
that you starve it and tire it out." [Abu Dawud]

968. Anas said, "When we alighted in a place, we did not pray supererogatory
prayers until we had let the camels loose." [Abu Dawud]
