And prayers and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and all his Companions: He said, may Allah have mercy on him: "The Chapter on Assisting the Travel Companion"

The reader: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions:
He said, may Allah have mercy on him: "The Chapter on Assisting the Travel Companion:
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

While we were travelling with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), a rider came and began to stare on the right and on the left. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "He who has an extra mount should hand it over to one who has none, and he who possesses surplus provision, should give it to him who is without provision." He named various kinds of possessions until we began to think (realize) that none of us had any right to anything surplus.

بينما نحن في سفر إذ جاء رجل على راحلةٍ له ، فجعل يصرف بصره يمينا وشمالا ، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : مَن كان معه فضل ظهر فليَعُد به على من لا ظهر له ، ومن كان له فضل زاد فليَعُد به على من لا زاد له . فذكر من أصناف المال ما ذكره ، حتى رأينا أنه لا حق لأحد منا في فضل

Riyad as-Salihin 969

Muslim narrated it.
Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him):

When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) made up his mind to go in an expedition, he would say to us, "O Muhajirin and the Ansar! There are among you such people who have no property and no kinsfolk. Let everyone of you take along with him two or three men. None of us had a spare animal we took rides by turn." So I took two or three men with me and I rode my camel by turn equally with them.

أنه أراد أن يغزو فقال : يا معشر المهاجرين والأنصار ! إن من إخوانكم قوماً ليس لهم مال ولا عشيرة ، فليضم أحدكم إليه الرجلين أو الثلاثة ، فما لأحدنا مِن ظهر يحمله إلا عقبة يعني كعقبة أحدهم ، قال : فضممت إليَّ اثنين أو ثلاثة ما لي إلا عقبة كعقبة أحدهم من جملي

Riyad as-Salihin 970

Abu Dawud narrated it.
He (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

God’s Messenger used to keep to the rear when traveling and urge on the weak. He would take someone up behind him and would make supplication for

كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يتخلف في المسير، فيزجي الضعيف ويردف ويدعو له

Mishkat al-Masabih 3913

Abu Dawud narrated it with a good chain".

The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful:
The author said, may Allah have mercy on him: "The Chapter on Being Kind to the Travel Companion": meaning in travel "and being gentle with him": This is among the etiquettes of travel, that a person is kind to his travel companion and is gentle with him.
Then the author mentioned, may Allah have mercy on him, three hadiths, among them: : So the people began to look at their companions, ride with them, and share their provisions with them.
And so too the second hadith: . And so the third hadith: : He urges him on and makes du'a for him, as that is also established from him in *Sahih Muslim* in the story of Jabir ibn Abdullah, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) caught up with him, and Jabir was on a camel that was exhausted, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) struck the camel and made du'a for it, so it began to walk as the riders walk, indeed it was moving ahead of them.
So the conclusion is that it is recommended for a person to be kind to his travel companions, meeting their needs and assisting them, for this is among the Prophetic etiquettes that came in the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), and Allah knows best.
