Chapter on Offspring, Milking, and Riding of Sacrificial Animals
وَ سَأَلَ يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ أَ يَرْكَبُ هَدْيَهُ إِنِ اِحْتَاجَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ «قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ «يَرْكَبُهَا غَيْرَ مُجْهِدٍ وَ لاَ مُتْعِبٍ ».
Ya'qub ibn Shu'ayb asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a man—can he ride his hady (sacrificial animal) if he needs to? Imam عليه السلام replied: "The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: 'He may ride it as long as he does not overburden or exhaust it.'"
