Qāʿidah fī Libās al-NabīIbn Taimiya

15- He would:
– seat a rider behind him;
– and at other times he would seat one person behind him and another in front of him, so that three of them rode the same mount (1).

What the Prophet ﷺ possessed of riding animals and weaponry during his life and after his death
16- He also kept sheep.
17- He likewise owned slaves.
18- Yet at no single moment did he possess large numbers of any of these things.
19- Indeed, when he passed away he owned only a few items: he left behind his coat of mail, which had been pledged to a Jew for thirty wasq (a standard measure) of barley he had purchased for his family.

= Benefit: Ibn Hajar said: “Al-‘uri, with a damma on the first consonant and a sukun on the ra, means that the animal has neither saddle nor tack. The term is not used for humans; for them one says ‘uryan (naked). Ibn Faris noted that the word is rare. This report shows the Prophet’s ﷺ humility and his consummate mastery of horsemanship, for such riding can only be done by someone who has perfected mounting and is thoroughly accustomed to riding. It also demonstrates that a rider may hang his sword from his neck when that is more convenient. The hadith further indicates that the horseman should keep up his riding skills and train himself continuously, so that when hardship strikes he is already prepared.” (Fath al-Bari, 6/70). (1) See: Ibn al-Qayyim, Zad al-Ma‘ad, 1/159. Al-Hafiz Ibn Mandah wrote a small treatise on those whom the Prophet ﷺ took as pillion riders; it has been printed. Al-Salihi reproduced it and added further names in Sabil al-Huda wa-l-Rashad, 7/606-617.
١٥- وكان: - يُرْدف خَلْفَه. - وتارة: يُرْدِف خَلْفَهُ وقُدَّامه؛ فيكونون ثلاثة على دابة (١) . ما كان يملكه النبي من دواب وسلاح في حياته وبعد مماته ١٦- وكان يتخذ: "الغَنَم" أيضًا. ١٧- وكان له: "الرَّقِيق" أيضًا. ١٨- ولم يكن يجتمع في مُلْكِه في الوَقت الواحد من هذه الأُمُور شيء كَثِير. ١٩- بل لمَّا مَات لم يكن عِنْدَهُ من ذلك إلا شيء يَسِير؛ خَلَّفَ دِرْعَه؛ وكانت مَرْهُونة عند يهودي على ثلاثين وَسَقًا من شعيرٍ ابتاعها لأَهْلِهِ.
= فائدة: قال الحافظ ابن حجر ﵀: "العري: بضم المهملة وسكون الراء، أي: ليس عليه سرج ولا أداة ولا يقال في الآدميين إنما يقال عريان، قاله ابن فارس: قال وهي من النوادر.. وفيه: ما كان عليه النبي ﷺ من التواضع والفروسية البالغة، فإن الركوب المذكور لا يفعله إلا من أحكم الرموب وأدمن على الفروسية وفيه تعليق السيف في العنق إذا احتاج إلى ذلك حيث يكون أعون له. وفي الحديث ما يشير إلى أنه ينبغي للفارس أن يتعاهد الفروسية ويروض طباعه عليها، لألا يفجأه شدة فيكون قد استعد لها" (فتح الباري) (٦/٧٠) . (١) راجع: "زاد المعاد" (١/١٥٩) وللحافظ ابن منده جزء فيمن أردفهم النبي ﷺ وهو مطبوع وقد أوردهم وزاد عليهم الصالحي في "سبل الهدي والرشاد" (٧/٦٠٦-٦١٧) .
