English translation

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)

Arabic text

741 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّهُ، «رَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى حِمَارٍ وَهُوَ رَاكِبٌ إِلَى خَيْبَرَ وَالْقِبْلَةُ خَلْفَهُ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: لَا نَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا تَابَعَ عَمْرَو بْنَ يَحْيَى عَلَى قَوْلِهِ يُصَلِّي عَلَى حِمَارٍ، وَحَدِيثُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ الصَّوَابُ مَوْقُوفٌ، وَاللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ

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.
