2858. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "When you travel through fertile land, then give the camels their fill of the land, and when you travel through drought, then hasten while they are fresh, and when you camp late, then stay away from the road, for indeed it is the route of beasts and the abode of poisonous vermin in the night." (Sahih) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahih. There is something on this topic from Anas and Jābir.

٢٨٥٨ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ ‌سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا سَافَرْتُمْ فِي الْخِصْبِ فَأَعْطُوا الْإِبِلَ حَظَّهَا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ،» وَإِذَا سَافَرْتُمْ فِي السَّنَةِ فَبَادِرُوا بِنِقْيِهَا، وَإِذَا عَرَّسْتُمْ فَاجْتَنِبُوا الطَّرِيقَ؛ فَإِنَّهَا طُرُقُ الدَّوَابِّ وَمَأْوَى الْهَوَامِّ بِاللَّيْلِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ، وَأَنَسٍ.

Commentary

The power and ability of the riding animal is needed in journey, so the riding animal needs grazing, eating and drinking to keep and maintain the power and ability. This need can easily be fulfilled in areas of grass and vegetation; therefore the riding animal should get its chance. If it is the area of drought, the grass and greenery is not available easily; in this case marching hastily and caring for the power and ability of the riding animal, it should get a chance to reach such a place. In the Name of Allāh,the Merciful, the Beneficent
