Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Umayyah narrates: Habib bin Maslamah came to Sayyiduna Qays bin Sa'd bin Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) during the first fitnah (civil strife) while he was on his horse. He moved back from the saddle and said: "Ride." He refused, and Sayyiduna Qays bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The owner of the animal has more right to its front." Habib said: "I am not unaware of what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, but I fear for you."
Ahmad recorded it, and al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat and al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. Ahmad's narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
