Amr al-Naqid and Suraij ibn Yunus narrated to me, they said: Hushaym narrated to us, Humayd informed us, from Thabit, from Anas, who said: And I think I have heard it from Anas.

And Yahya ibn Yahya narrated to us—and the wording is his—he informed us: Hushaym, from Humayd, from Thabit al-Bunani, from Anas, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, passed by a man who was driving a sacrificial camel, and he said: "Ride it." The man said: "It is a sacrificial camel." He said: "Ride it," two or three times.

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.

Musa bin Salama al-Hudhali reported: I and Sinan bin Salama proceeded to Makkah to perform 'Umrah. Sinan had a sacrificial camel with him which he was driving. The camel stopped in the way being completely exhausted and this state of it made him (Sinan) helpless. (He thought) if it stops proceeding further how he would be able to take it, along with him and said: I would definitely find out (the religious verdict) about it. I moved on in the morning and as we encamped at al-Batha', (Sinan) said: Come (along with me) to Ibn 'Abbas (RA) so that we should narrate to him (this incident), and he (Sinan) reported to him the incident of the sacrificial camel. He (Ibn Abbas (RA)) said: You have referred (the matter) to the well informed person. (Now listen) Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) sent sixteen sacrificial camels with a man whom he put in charge of them. He set out and came back and said: Messenger of Allah, what should I do with those who are completely exhausted and become powerless to move on, whereupon he said: Slaughter them, and dye their hoofs in their blood, and put them on the sides of their humps, but neither you nor anyone among those who are with you must eat any part of them.

Ibn Abbas (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) sent eighteen sacrificial camels with a person. The rest of the hadith is the same, and the first part (of the above-mentioned hadith) is not mentioned.

Ibn Abbas (RA) reported that Dhuwaib, father of Qabisa (RA) narrated to him that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) sent under his charge the sacrificial camels, and said: If any of these is completely exhausted and you apprehend its death, then slaughter it, then dip its hoofs in its blood and imprint it on its hump; but neither you nor any one of your comrades should eat it.

Ibn 'Abbas (RA) reported that the people used to return through every path, whereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: None amongst you should depart until he performs the last circumambulation round the House. Zuhair said (the words are): [ARABIC: YANSARIFUWN KULLA WAJH] and the word [arabic: FIY] was not mentioned.

Ibn Abbas (RA) reported: The people were commanded (by the Holy Prophet) to perform the last circumambulation round the House, but menstruating women were exempted.
