Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلًا يَسُوقُ بَدَنَةً قَدْ جَهَدَهُ الْمَشْيُ فَقَالَ ارْكَبْهَا فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهَا بَدَنَةٌ قَالَ ارْكَبْهَا وَإِنْ كَانَتْ بَدَنَةً.

Ibn Abi Adiyy narrated to us from Humayd, from Thabit, from Anas, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, saw a man driving a sacrificial camel who had been worn out by walking. He said, "Ride it." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, it is a sacrificial camel." He said, "Ride it, even if it is a sacrificial camel."
