حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مُعَاذِ بْنِ أ
َنَسٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا تَتَّخِذُوا الدَّوَابَّ كَرَاسِيَّ فَرُبَّ مَرْكُوبَةٍ عَلَيْهَا هِيَ أَكْثَرُ ذِكْرًا لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى مِنْ رَاكِبِهَا
