باب رُكُوبِ الْبُدْنِ

Sahih
Sunan Ibn Majah 3104
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، - صَاحِبِ الدَّسْتَوَائِيِّ - عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ مُرَّ عَلَيْهِ بِبَدَنَةٍ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ ارْكَبْهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ إِنَّهَا بَدَنَةٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ ارْكَبْهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُهُ رَاكِبَهَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فِي عُنُقِهَا نَعْلٌ ‏.‏
It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Prophet (ﷺ) was brought a sacrificial animal and he said (to the man driving the animal):

“Ride it.” He said: “It is a sacrificial animal.” He said: “Ride it.” He said: “I saw him riding it with the Prophet (ﷺ), and there was a sandal (tied) around its neck.”
