The Sufficient (Vol 6) · Hadith 2444 (#Ḥadīth #5)

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الرَّحَّالِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ قَالَ مَرَّ بِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ أَنَا أَمْشِي عَرْضَ نَاقَتِي فَقَالَ مَا لَكَ لَا تَرْكَبُ فَقُلْتُ ضَعُفَتْ نَاقَتِي فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُخَفِّفَ عَنْهَا فَقَالَ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ ارْكَبْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَحْمِلُ عَنِ الضَّعِيفِ وَ الْقَوِيِّ .

5. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from his father from Muhammad ibn ‘Amr from Sulayman al-Rahhal from ibn abu Ya‘fur who has said the following: “Once, abu ‘Abd Allah , passed by me and I was walking next to my camel. He (the Imam) asked, ‘Why are you not riding?’ I replied, ‘My camel has become weak, thus I decided to provide it relief.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘May Allah grant you blessings. Ride your camel, Allah carries for both the weak and the strong.’”
