Sayyiduna Buraidah Aslami narrates: Once, it happened that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was walking, when suddenly a man, who had a donkey with him, came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! Please ride (on the donkey), while he himself began to move back. Upon this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No, (I will not ride on the front part of it, because) you have more right to the front part of your mount than I do. However, if you permit me, then it is fine. He said: I have given you permission. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mounted (on the front part of the donkey).
