ahmad:3185ʿAbd al-Raḥman Hadhā al-Ḥadīth > Aqbalt Rākib > Atān

[Machine] I arrived as a rider on a female donkey, and on that day I had almost reached the state of drowsiness. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was leading the people in prayer, so I passed between some rows and got down. I tied the donkeys and entered the row, and no one objected to that.  

أحمد:٣١٨٥وَقَرَأْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ

أَقْبَلْتُ رَاكِبًا عَلَى أَتَانٍ وَأَنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ قَدْ نَاهَزْتُ الِاحْتِلَامَ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ فَمَرَرْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ بَعْضِ الصَّفِّ فَنَزَلْتُ وَأَرْسَلْتُ الْأَتَانَ فَدَخَلْتُ فِي الصَّفِّ فَلَمْ يُنْكِرْ ذَلِكَ عَلَيَّ أَحَدٌ

Once I came riding a she-ass and had (just) attained the age of puberty. Messenger of Allah ﷺ was offering the prayer at Mina. There was no wall in front of him and I passed in front of some of the row while they were offering their prayers. There I let the she-ass loose to graze and entered the row, and nobody objected to it.

Once I came riding a she-ass and I, then, had just attained the age of puberty. Messenger of Allah ﷺ was leading the people in prayer at Mina facing no wall. I passed in front of the row and let loose the sheass for grazing and joined the row and no one objected to my deed.

I came riding a donkey. Another version has: Ibn Abbas said: When I was near the age of the puberty I came riding a she-ass and found the Messenger of Allah ﷺ leading the people in prayer at Mina. I passed in front of a part of the row (of worshippers), and dismounting left my she-ass for grazing in the pasture, and I joined the row, and no one objected to that. Abu Dawud said: These are the words of al-Qa'nabi, and are complete. Malik said: I take it as permissible at the time when the iqamah for prayer is pronounced.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Ubaydullah ibn Abdullah ibn Utba ibn Masud that Abdullah ibn Abbas said, "I approached, riding on a donkey, while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was leading the people in prayer at Mina, and I was, at that time, nearing puberty. I passed in front of part of the row, dismounted, sent the donkey off to graze, and then joined the row, and no one rebuked me for doing so."
