It is narrated from Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was walking on foot when a man came riding on a donkey and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Please ride on this," and he himself moved back. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "You have more right to sit on the front part of your mount, unless you grant me permission." He said, "I have given you permission." So the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) mounted it.
