or let his eye follow him when he turns his back or to ask, 'Where have

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَأَى رَجُلاً يَسُوقُ بَدَنَةً، فَقَالَ: ارْكَبْهَا، فَقَالَ: إِنَّهَا بَدَنَةٌ، قَالَ: ارْكَبْهَا، قَالَ: إِنَّهَا بَدَنَةٌ، قَالَ: ارْكَبْهَا، قَالَ: فَإِنَّهَا بَدَنَةٌ، قَالَ: ارْكَبْهَا، وَيْلَكَ.
Anas reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, saw a man driving a sacrificial camel. "Ride it," he told him. The
man replied, "It is a sacrificial camel." "Ride it," he repeated. The man

said, "It is a sacrificial camel." The Prophet said, "Ride it, and bother
you!"
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "None of you should say, 'May time be disappointed!'

the day. If I so wished, I could take them away.' None of you should the
grape-vine 'karm" (instead of 'inab). Karm* is the
