Hazrat Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by me while I was driving my camel and was behind all the people, and my camel was lame or sick. He said, "What is the matter with it?" I replied, "O Messenger of Allah! It is lame or sick." He took something that was in his hand and struck it, then said, "Mount it." So I would hold it back so that the people could catch up with me.
