Narrated Buraydah ibn al-Hasib: While the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was walking a man who had an ass came to him and said: Messenger of Allah, ride; and the man moved to the back of the animal. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: No, you have more right to ride in front on your animal than me unless you grant that right to me. He said: I grant it to you. So he mounted.

´Narrated 'Abdullah bin Buraidah:` "I heard my father Buraidah saying: 'I was walking with the Prophet (ﷺ) when a man came to him with a donkey, so he said: "O Messenger of Allah! Ride" and the man moved toward the back. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "No, you have more right to the front of your beast, unless you allot it for me." He said: "I have allotted it for you.'" He said: 'So he rode.'"

Explanation: 1: From this hadith, it is understood how humble the personality of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was. He (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not like to take the right of another person unless that person himself was pleased to give that right to him (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). It is also understood that justice and the expression of truth were always present in his (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) character.
