742. It was narrated from Anas bin Mâlik that he saw the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ praying on a donkey while he was riding, praying toward Khaibar with the Qiblah behind him.
Abû 'Abdur-Raḥmân (An-Nasâ'î) said: We do not know of anyone who reported anything to support what 'Amr bin Yaḥya said about praying on a donkey. As for the Hadîth of Yaḥya bin Sa'eed from Anas, what is correct is that it is Mawqûf.[1] And Allâh knows best. (Sahîh)

Commentary
1. The Prophet ﷺ had been proceeding toward Khaibar and Khaibar is situated in the north, while, from the city of Madinah, the Qiblah is in the direction of the south.
2. We learn here that the saliva and perspiration of a donkey are pure, because while one is riding it, these things invariably touch one's garments.
