Treating the animal or vehicle with care, not overburdening it
The Prophet (SAW) passed an exhausted camel and said: "Fear Allah regarding these animals who cannot speak. Ride them when they are fit and let them rest when they are tired."
Reference: Sunan Abi Dawud, graded Sahih, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Ja'far (RA)
