حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مِقْسَمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ فَأَفَاضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ عَرَفَةَ وَأَمَرَهُمْ بِالسَّكِينَةِ وَأَرْدَفَ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ وَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالسَّكِينَةِ وَالْوَقَارِ فَإِنَّ الْبِرَّ لَيْسَ بِإِيجَافِ الْإِبِلِ وَالْخَيْلِ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ نَاقَةً رَافِعَةً يَدَهَا عَادِيَةً حَتَّى بَلَغَتْ جَمْعًا ثُمَّ أَرْدَفَ الْفَضْلَ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ مِنْ جَمْعٍ إِلَى مِنًى وَهُوَ يَقُولُ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالسَّكِينَةِ وَالْوَقَارِ فَإِنَّ الْبِرَّ لَيْسَ بِإِيجَافِ الْإِبِلِ وَالْخَيْلِ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ نَاقَةً رَافِعَةً يَدَهَا عَادِيَةً حَتَّى بَلَغَتْ مِنًى
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2427
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) moved on from 'Arafah and he commanded them to be calm. He seated Usamah bin Zaid behind him on his mount and said: "O people, you should be calm and dignified, for it is not righteousness to move quickly with camels and horses.” And I never saw any camel raising its feet and running until it reached Muzdalifah. Then he seated al- Fadl bin 'Abbas behind him on his mount from Muzdalifah to Mina, saying: "O people, you should be calm and dignified, for it is not righteousness to move quickly with camels and horses.” And I never saw any camel raising its feet and running until it reached Mina.
