Mishkat al-Masabih #2523
The Rites of Pilgrimage
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عبدِ اللَّه سُئِلَ عَنْ رُكُوبِ الْهَدْيِ فَقَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «ارْكَبْهَا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ إِذَا أُلْجِئْتَ إِلَيْهَا حَتَّى تَجِدَ ظَهْرًا» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم
Abuz Zubair said he heard Jabir b. ‘Abdallah being asked about riding sacrificial animals, to which he replied that he had heard the Prophet say, “Ride on them gently when you have nothing else, till you find a mount.”
Muslim transmitted it.
