69 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: أَتَانَا مُنَادِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ يَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ لُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ؛ فَإِنَّهَا رِجْسٌ»

Commentary
Imām An-Nasā'ī has perhaps based his reasoning on the phrase "it is filth," which occurs in the wording of this narration. But those who hold the leftover of a domesticated ass to be pure argue that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and the noble Companions used to ride asses. The saliva and perspiration of those animals likely came into contact with the riders' clothes. Furthermore, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ never indicated that a donkey's saliva is impure.
