English translation

2549. It was reported from 'Abdullāh bin Ja'far who said: "One day the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ seated me behind him on his mount. He told me something secretly which I am not going to let anybody know. When relieving himself, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ liked to find a place where he was well concealed, a hill or a cluster of date-palms." He said: "Once he entered the garden of a man from Anṣār where he found a camel. When it saw the Prophet ﷺ it began crying and its tears flowed. The Prophet ﷺ came to it and stroked the back of its head and it became silent. He then said: 'Who is the owner of this camel? Whose camel is this?' A young boy from the Anṣār came forward and said: 'It belongs to me O Messenger of Allāh ﷺ!' He said: 'Do you not fear Allāh regarding this animal which Allāh has put in your possession? It complained to me that you keep it hungry and overburden it, causing fatigue.'" (Sahih)

2549 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَهْدِيٌّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ مَوْلَى الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ: أَرْدَفَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَلْفَهُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ، فَأَسَرَّ إِلَيَّ حَدِيثًا لَا أُحَدِّثُ بِهِ أَحَدًا النَّاسِ، وَكَانَ أَحَبُّ مَا اسْتَتَرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِحَاجَتِهِ هَدَفًا، أَوْ حَائِشَ نَخْلٍ، قَالَ: فَدَخَلَ حَائِطًا لِرَجُلٍ الْأَنْصَارِ فَإِذَا جَمَلٌ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَنَّ وَذَرَفَتْ عَيْنَاهُ، فَأَتَاهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَمَسَحَ ذِفْرَاهُ فَسَكَتَ، فَقَالَ: «مَنْ رَبُّ هَذَا الْجَمَلِ، لِمَنْ هَذَا الْجَمَلُ؟»، فَجَاءَ فَتًى مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ: لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. فَقَالَ: «أَفَلَا تَتَّقِي اللَّهَ فِي هَذِهِ الْبَهِيمَةِ الَّتِي مَلَّكَكَ اللَّهُ إِيَّاهَا؟، فَإِنَّهُ شَكَا إِلَيَّ أَنَّكَ تُجِيعُهُ وَتُدْئِبُهُ»
