Hadith 9444

عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَتَانَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَوَضَعْنَا لَهُ غُسْلًا فَاغْتَسَلَ ثُمَّ أَتَيْنَاهُ بِمِلْحَفَةٍ وَرْسِيَّةٍ فَاشْتَمَلَ بِهَا فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى أَثَرِ الْوَرْسِ عَلَى عُكَنِهِ ثُمَّ أَتَيْنَاهُ بِحِمَارٍ لِيَرْكَبَ فَقَالَ صَاحِبُ الْحِمَارِ أَحَقُّ بِصَدْرِ حِمَارِهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَالْحِمَارُ لَكَ
Narrated from Sayyiduna Qais bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us, we placed water for his bath, he (peace and blessings be upon him) bathed, then we brought a yellowish-reddish sheet and he (peace and blessings be upon him) wrapped it around his body, as if even now I am seeing the marks of the wars herb on the folds of his (peace and blessings be upon him) stomach, then we brought a donkey to him (peace and blessings be upon him) for riding, but he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The owner of the donkey has more right to ride on its front part. He said: O Messenger of Allah! This donkey is only for you.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The following hadith is authentic. It is narrated from Sayyiduna Buraidah radi Allahu anhu, who says: “While the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was walking, a man came with a donkey. He said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Ride (on it),’ and the man himself moved back. The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: ‘No, you have more right to the front part of your mount than me, unless you make it for me.’ He said: ‘Indeed, I have made it for you.’ So he (the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) rode (on it).” … The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was walking on foot when a man came, and he had a donkey with him. He said: “O Messenger of Allah! Please ride,” and then he himself moved back. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: “No, you are more deserving of sitting on the front part of your animal than me, unless you dedicate it to me.” He said: “Yes, I have dedicated this part to you,” so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam mounted it.

(Abu Dawud: 2208, Tirmidhi: 2773)

On one hand, the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam demonstrated humility and excellent character; on the other hand, his companion radi Allahu anhu fulfilled the right of honoring him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
