It is one out of these (narrations) that Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) narrated to us from Muhammad the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) , and he narrated to us traditions out of which is that he said : When there was a person who was driving a garlanded sacrificial camel , Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to him : Woe to you ; ride on it. He said : Messenger of Allah , it is a sacrificial animal , whereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said : Woe to you , ride on it ; woe to you , ride on it.
