(233) Chapter: The Obligation of Hajj (Pilgrimage) and its Excellence

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) performed the pilgrimage on an unsaddled camel which also carried his provisions (i.e., his Zamilah). [Al- Bukhari]. Commentary: "Zamilah'' is a mount like a horse, mule etc., on which luggage is loaded while travelling. What it means here is that the Prophet (PBUH) travelled for Hajj on such a mount on which he kept his provision for the journey also. In other words, it was his Zamilah as well. This incident happened during Hajjat-ul-Wada` (Farewell Pilgrimage). This Hadith shows the Prophet's total humility and humbleness and his disregard for the life of the world.
