أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ أَنَّهُ رَأَی رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي عَلَی حِمَارٍ وَهُوَ رَاکِبٌ إِلَی خَيْبَرَ وَالْقِبْلَةُ خَلْفَهُ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ لَا نَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا تَابَعَ عَمْرَو بْنَ يَحْيَی عَلَی قَوْلِهِ يُصَلِّي عَلَی حِمَارٍ وَحَدِيثُ يَحْيَی بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ الصَّوَابُ مَوْقُوفٌ وَاللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَی أَعْلَمُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 745
It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that he saw the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم praying on a donkey while he was riding, praying toward Khaibar with the Qiblah behind him. Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasa’i) said: We do not know of anyone who reported anything to support what ‘Amr bin Ya said about praying on a donkey. As for the Hadith of Yahyah bin Saeed from Anas, what is correct is that it is Mawqaf. And Allah knows best. (Sahih)
