‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏أَبِي ‏ ‏وَبِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ ‏ ‏أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏إِذَا سَافَرْتُمْ فِي ‏ ‏الْخَصِيبِ ‏ ‏فَأَعْطُوا الْإِبِلَ حَظَّهَا مِنْ الْأَرْضِ وَإِذَا سَافَرْتُمْ فِي ‏ ‏السَّنَةِ ‏ ‏فَبَادِرُوا ‏ ‏نِقْيَهَا ‏ ‏وَإِذَا ‏ ‏عَرَّسْتُمْ ‏ ‏فَاجْتَنِبُوا الطُّرُقَ فَإِنَّهَا طُرُقُ الدَّوَابِّ وَمَأْوَى ‏ ‏الْهَوَامِّ ‏ ‏بِاللَّيْلِ ‏

English Translation

My father said, and with this chain of narration: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'When you travel through fertile land, give the camels their due share of the earth. And when you travel through barren land, hasten your pace. And when you camp at night, avoid the road, for it is the path of animals and the refuge of insects at night.'
