It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a man who was driving a sacrificial animal. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Ride on it." The man said: "O Messenger of Allah! It is a sacrificial animal." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Ride on it." The man said: "It is a sacrificial animal." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said for the third or fourth time: "Woe to you, ride on it."
