Jami at-Tirmidhi
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَمَّارٍ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي بُرَيْدَةَ، يَقُولُ بَيْنَمَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَمْشِي إِذْ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ وَمَعَهُ حِمَارٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ارْكَبْ . وَتَأَخَّرَ الرَّجُلُ . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لأَنْتَ أَحَقُّ بِصَدْرِ دَابَّتِكَ إِلاَّ 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.'"
