(صحيح) … [د في مراسيله] عن الزهري ووصله [البزار ع2 طس] عن سعيد بن المسيب عن أبي هريرة نحوه. الصحيحة 1130.
It is reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“Push this load back, for, indeed, his front legs are experiencing (the weight) of the load , and his hind legs are (as if) tied with a rope.”
This hadith was narrated by Abu Dawood in al-Marasil 365 from the words of al-Zuhri; al-Bazzar, Abu Ya’la 5852, at-Tabarani in al-Mu’jam al-Awsat from the words of Sa’id ibn al-Musayyib, who transmitted a similar hadith from Abu Hurayrah.
Sheikh al-Albani called the hadith authentic. See Saheeh al-Jami ‘as-saghir 228, al-Silsilah al-sahiha 1130.
