أَبُو عَمَّارٍ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ، حَدَّثَنَا
عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي
أَبِي، حَدَّثَنِي
عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ، قَال : سَمِعْتُ
أَبِي بُرَيْدَةَ، يَقُولُ : " بَيْنَمَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمْشِي إِذْ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ وَمَعَهُ حِمَارٌ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ارْكَبْ ، وَتَأَخَّرَ الرَّجُلُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَأَنْتَ أَحَقُّ بِصَدْرِ دَابَّتِكَ إِلَّا أَنْ تَجْعَلَهُ لِي ، قَالَ : قَدْ جَعَلْتُهُ لَكَ قَالَ : فَرَكِبَ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ ، وَفِي الْبَابِ ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ .
´Narrated 'Abdullah bin Buraidah:` "I heard my father Buraidah saying: 'I was walking with the Prophet (ﷺ) when a man came to him with a donkey, so he said: "O Messenger of Allah! Ride" and the man moved toward the back. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "No, you have more right to the front of your beast, unless you allot it for me." He said: "I have allotted it for you.'" He said: 'So he rode.'"

Explanation:
1:
From this hadith, it is understood how humble the personality of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was.
He (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not like to take the right of another person unless that person himself was pleased to give that right to him (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
It is also understood that justice and the expression of truth were always present in his (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) character.
