Al-Adab Al-Mufrad #774
Sayings
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
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 again, "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!"
