Habib bin Maslamah came to Sayyiduna Qays bin Sa'd bin Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was riding his horse, and Habib moved back from the saddle and said to him: Ride. Qays (may Allah be pleased with him) refused and said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The owner of a mount has more right to its front." Habib said: I am not unaware of what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, but I fear for you.
