453. hadíth

[والجمع ما بين الخبرين في هذا المعنى:] مَا رَوَاهُ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ عَنِ اَلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَنَّهُ سَأَلَهُ عَنِ اَلْمَشْيُ أَفْضَلُ أَوِ اَلرُّكُوبُ فَقَالَ «إِذَا كَانَ اَلرَّجُلُ مُوسِراً فَمَشَى لِيَكُونَ أَقَلَّ لِنَفَقَتِهِ فَالرُّكُوبُ أَفْضَلُ.

The reconciliation between these narrations is found in: Abu Basir narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) where he asked him: "Is walking better or riding?" The Imam (a.s) replied: "If a man is wealthy and chooses to walk to reduce his expenses, then riding is better."
