حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ سَأَلْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ رُکُوبِ الْهَدْيِ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ارْکَبْهَا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ إِذَا أُلْجِئْتَ إِلَيْهَا حَتَّی تَجِدَ ظَهْرًا
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1761
Abu al-Zubair said: I asked Jabir bin Abdallah about riding on the sacrificial camels. He said I heard The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying ride on them gently when you have nothing else till you find a mount.
