سنن أبي داود 3177

Narrated Thawban: An animal was brought to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) while he was going with a funeral. He refused to ride on it. When the funeral was away, the animal was brought to him and he rode on it. He was asked about it. He said: The angels were on their feet. I was not to ride while they were walking. When they went away, I rode

Rapporté par Thawban : Un animal fut amené au Messager d’Allah ﷺ alors qu’il accompagnait un cortège funèbre. Il refusa de monter dessus. Quand la procession s’éloigna, on lui amena de nouveau l’animal et il monta dessus. On l’interrogea à ce sujet. Il répondit : « Les anges étaient à pied. Je ne pouvais pas monter alors qu’ils marchaient. Quand ils sont partis, je suis monté. »
