The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘The animal has six rights over its owner: once the owner has dismounted the animal he should allow it to graze, he should give it access to water if they pass by it, he should not hit the animal except when it truly deserves it, he should not burden it with a load that it cannot bear, he should not overtask it with a journey that it cannot endure and he should not sit on it for lengthy periods of time.
رسولُ اللهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) : للدّابّةِ على صاحِبِها سِتُّ خِصالٍ : يَعْلِفُها إذا نَزلَ ، ويَعْرِضُ علَيها الماءَ إذا مَرَّ بهِ ، ولا يَضْرِبُها إلّا على حقٍّ ، ولا يُحَمّلُها ما لا تُطيقُ، ولا يُكلّفُها مِن السَّيرِ إلّا طاقَتَها، ولا يَقِفُ علَيها فُواقاً.
