Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْمِقْدَامَ بْنَ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ هَانِىءٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَ رَكِبَتْ عَائِشَةُ بَعِيرًا وَكَانَ مِنْهُ صُعُوبَةٌ فَجَعَلَتْ تُرَدِّدُهُ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْكِ بِالرِّفْقِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَكُ فِي شَيْءٍ إِلَّا زَانَهُ وَلَا يُنْزَعُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا شَانَهُ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far told us, Shu'bah told us, he said: I heard al-Miqdam ibn Shurayh ibn Hani' narrate, from his father, from Aishah, who said: Aishah rode a camel that was somewhat unruly, and she kept turning it back, so the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to her: "You must be gentle, for gentleness is never present in anything except that it adorns it, and it is never removed from anything except that it disgraces it."
