Sahih Muslim Book - 33, Hadith - 4959

حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِذَا سَافَرْتُمْ فِي الْخِصْبِ ، فَأَعْطُوا الإِبِلَ حَظَّهَا مِنَ الأَرْضِ ، وَإِذَا سَافَرْتُمْ فِي السَّنَةِ ، فَأَسْرِعُوا عَلَيْهَا السَّيْرَ ، وَإِذَا عَرَّسْتُمْ بِاللَّيْلِ ، فَاجْتَنِبُوا الطَّرِيقَ ، فَإِنَّهَا مَأْوَى الْهَوَامِّ بِاللَّيْلِ.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'If you are traveling in fertile land, then give the camels their share of the land; if you are traveling in arid land, then hasten to pass through it. And if you make a halt at the end of the night, avoid (camping in) the road, for it is the abode of the vermin of the night."'
