Sayyiduna Ismah bin Malik al-Khatmi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to visit us at Quba'. When he wanted to return, we brought him a donkey that took short steps, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mounted it. We said: "O Messenger of Allah! This boy will go with you and bring the animal back." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The owner of the animal has more right to its front." We said: "O Messenger of Allah! You ride it, and you send it back to us." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went on it and then sent it back to us, and when it came back, it was stepping so briskly that it could not be kept pace with.
Al-Tabarani recorded it. Its chain contains al-Fadl bin al-Mukhtar, and he is da'if (weak).
