Habib bin Salamah came to Sayyiduna Qais bin Sa'd during the time of the first tribulation, riding on his horse. He moved back from the saddle and said, "Mount on it." He (Qais) replied, "I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'The owner of the mount has more right to sit in front.'" Habib said, "I am not unaware of this statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but I was concerned for your safety."
