Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ وَعَفَّانُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ قَالَ عَفَّانُ أَخْبَرَنَا الْمَعْنَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ فَجَاءَ بَعِيرٌ فَسَجَدَ لَهُ فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَسْجُدُ لَكَ الْبَهَائِمُ وَالشَّجَرُ فَنَحْنُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ نَسْجُدَ لَكَ فَقَالَ اعْبُدُوا رَبَّكُمْ وَأَكْرِمُوا أَخَاكُمْ وَلَوْ كُنْتُ آمِرًا أَحَدًا أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِأَحَدٍ لَأَمَرْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِزَوْجِهَا وَلَوْ أَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَنْقُلَ مِنْ جَبَلٍ أَصْفَرَ إِلَى جَبَلٍ أَسْوَدَ وَمِنْ جَبَلٍ أَسْوَدَ إِلَى جَبَلٍ أَبْيَضَ كَانَ يَنْبَغِي لَهَا أَنْ تَفْعَلَهُ.
English Translation
Abd al-Samad and Affan narrated to us, they said: Hammad narrated to us — Affan said: with the same meaning — from Ali ibn Zayd, from Sa'id, from Aishah: that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was among a group of the Emigrants and the Helpers, when a camel came and prostrated to him. His companions said, "O Messenger of Allah, the beasts and the trees prostrate to you, so we are more deserving of prostrating to you." He said, "Worship your Lord, and honor your brother. Had I been one to command anyone to prostrate to another, I would have commanded the wife to prostrate to her husband; and had he ordered her to move from a yellow mountain to a black mountain, and from a black mountain to a white mountain, it would have been fitting for her to do it."
