Riyad as-Salihin, 704
Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
I accompanied the Prophet (ﷺ) while we were returning from 'Arafat. Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) heard behind him a loud noise of beating and of driving the camels forcibly. He pointed towards it with his whip and said, "O people! Proceed calmly. No virtue lies in rushing." <b>[Al- Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
وعن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما أنه دفع مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يوم عرفة فسمع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وراءه زجراً شديداً وضرباً وصوتاً للإبل، فأشار بسوطه إليهم وقال: “أيها الناس عليكم بالسكينة فإن البر ليس بالإيضاع" ((رواه البخاري، وروى مسلم بعضه)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) We are instructed not to hasten on our way to places of worship, lest we lose calm and tranquility, and because it leads to crowdedness and pushing among people, which involves harm and disturbance.<br>
2) Acts of worship are intended to be performed in the best manner, which includes calmness in performing and perfecting them.
