Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh Salih, I would like you to explain the hadith Do I remain?
Answer:
Yes, this is guidance from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) directing travelers to be gentle and to make use of the last part of the night, which is the time of energy, and to be gentle with themselves and their mounts. Because the one who rushes and does not rest himself or his mount does not cover the ground nor preserve the mount, because his mount becomes exhausted and tired, and it may die from the fatigue. So the Muslim in his travel should be gentle with himself, with his brothers who are with him, and with the mounts they use and load. Yes.
