حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ شَوْکَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَهُمْ قَالَ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَخَلَّفُ فِي الْمَسِيرِ فَيُزْجِي الضَّعِيفَ وَيُرْدِفُ وَيَدْعُو لَهُمْ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2639
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to keep to the rear when travelling and urge on the weak. He would take someone up behind him and make supplication for them all.
