Hadith.2480 - Al-Sakuni narrated with his chain of transmission that the
Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings of Allah (swt) be upon him and his family) said: "Indeed, Allah (swt), the Blessed and Exalted, loves gentleness and facilitates it. When you ride lean animals, grant them proper rest. If the land is barren, travel quickly on them. If the land is fertile, let them rest in appropriate places."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ : «إِنَّ اَللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى يُحِبُّ اَلرِّفْقَ وَ يُعِينُ عَلَيْهِ فَإِذَا رَكِبْتُمُ اَلدَّوَابَّ اَلْعِجَافَ فَأَنْزِلُوهَا مَنَازِلَهَا فَإِنْ كَانَتِ اَلْأَرْضُ مُجْدِبَةً فَانْجُوا عَلَيْهَا وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ مُخْصِبَةً فَأَنْزِلُوهَا مَنَازِلَهَا».
