261 14999 Sahih Muslim 34 5069 The Book on Government - كتاب الإمارة "30367 20167 13" "حدثنا قتيبة بن سعيد، حدثنا عبد العزيز، - يعني ابن محمد - عن سهيل، عن أبيه، عن أبي هريرة، أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال "" إذا سافرتم في الخصب فأعطوا الإبل حظها من الأرض وإذا سافرتم في السنة فبادروا بها نقيها وإذا عرستم فاجتنبوا الطريق فإنها طرق الدواب ومأوى الهوام بالليل "" ." " It has been narrated (through another chain of transmitters) on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: When you travel (through a land) where there is plenty of vegetation you should (go slow and) give the camels a chance to enjoy the benefit of the earth. When you travel (through a land) where there is scarcity of vegetation you should hasten with them (so that you may be able to cross that land while your animals ore still in a good condition of health). When you make a halt for the night avoid (doing so on) the road for the tracks are the pathways of wild beasts or the abode of noxious little animals."
