Sayyiduna Abu Tamimah al-Hujaymi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Once I was on my donkey when I met the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I moved back onto the rear part of the donkey and said: "O Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you, please ride." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have more right to the front part of your donkey." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, this donkey is yours." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) rode on its front part and I rode on the rear part of the donkey.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its chain contains a narrator, Hisham bin Lahiq, whom Imam Ahmad declared matruk (abandoned) and whom others also called da'if (weak), whereas Imam al-Nasa'i (may Allah have mercy on him) declared him strong; and its chain contains narrators whom I do not know.
