Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) saw a person who was driving a sacrificial camel (and told him to ride on it. Thereupon he said: Messenger of Allah, it is a sacrificial camel. He told him again to ride on it; (when he received the same reply) he said: Woe to you, (he uttered these words on the second or the third reply).

This hadith has been narrated by A'raj with the same chain of transmitters (and the words are): "Whereas the person was driving a sacrificial camel which was garlanded."

Hammam bin Munabbih reported: It is one out of these (narrations) that Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated to us from Muhammad the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , and he narrated to us traditions out of which is that he said: When there was a person who was driving a garlanded sacrificial camel, Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to him: Woe to you; ride on it. He said: Messenger of Allah, it is a sacrificial animal, whereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Woe to you, ride on it; woe to you, ride on it.

Anas reported: Someone happened to pass by Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) with a sacrificial camel, or a sacrificial animal, whereupon he said: Ride on it. He said: It is a sacrificial camel, or animal, whereupon he said: (Ride) even if (it is a sacrificial camel).

Anas (RA) reported: There happened to pass (a person) with a sacrificial camel by Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and the rest of the hadith is the same.

Jabir bin 'Abdullah (RA) reported that he was asked about riding on a sacrificial animal, and he said: I heard Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: Ride on it gently, when you have need for it, until you find (another) mount.

Abu Zubair reported: I asked Jabir (RA) about riding on the sacrificial animal, to which he replied: I heard Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: Ride on them gently until you find another mount.
