Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 469
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: كُنْتُ عَلَى بَعِيرٍ فِيهِ صُعُوبَةٌ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: عَلَيْكِ بِالرِّفْقِ، فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَكُونُ فِي شَيْءٍ إِلا زَانَهُ، وَلاَ يُنْزَعُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ إِلا شَانَهُ.

Hafs ibn ‘Umar said: Shu‘ba related to us, from al-Miqdam, from his father, from ‘A’isha, may Allah be pleased with her, who said: I was riding a camel that was difficult to control, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Be gentle. Gentleness is not found in anything except that it adorns it, and it is not removed from anything except that it mars it.”
