23 - It is narrated that Amir al-Mu'minin (peace be upon him) said: "Indeed, that donkey spoke to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) and said: 'May my father and mother be sacrificed for you! My father informed me, from his father, from his grandfather, from his father, that he was with Noah in the Ark. He approached him, wiped his hand on his back, and then said: 'A donkey will be born from the loins of this donkey, and the Master of the Prophets and their Seal will ride it.' Praise be to Allah who made me that donkey."
Commentary: I say: And the hadith is mursal, as you see, and it contains strangeness.

I said to it, 'Speak to me in words I can understand.' It replied, 'As you speak to me, I can speak to you.'"

- .... Many of the major hadith scholars denied it. Abu Muhammad Abdullah ibn Hamed said: Abu al-Hasan Ahmad ibn Hamdan al-Sajzi informed us, saying: Umar ibn Muhammad ibn Bujayr narrated to us, saying: Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Yazid narrated to us - by dictation - from Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Uqbah ibn Abi al-Suhbah, who said: Abu Hudhayfa narrated to us from Abdullah ibn Habib al-Hudhali, from Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami, from Abu Manzur, who said: When Allah opened Khaybar to His Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), he received from his share four pairs of mules, four pairs of sandals, ten weights of gold and silver, a black donkey, and a basket. He said, "The Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) spoke to the donkey, and the donkey spoke back to him, saying: What is your name? He replied: Yazid ibn Shahab. Allah brought forth sixty donkeys from the lineage of my grandfather, all of whom were not ridden except by a prophet. There is no one left from the lineage of my grandfather except me, and no one from the prophets except you. I had expected you to ride me. I was previously with a Jewish man, and I would deliberately stumble with him, causing him discomfort in his belly and striking his back." Then the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said: "I name you Ya'fur, O Ya'fur." He replied: "Here I am." The Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) asked: "Do you desire females?" He said: "No." So the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) would ride him for his needs, and when he would dismount, he would send him to the door of a man, and he would come to the door and knock with his head. If the owner of the house or someone else came out to him, he would signal to him to "Answer the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny)." When the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) passed away, he went to a well that belonged to Abu Haytham ibn al-Nabbhan and fell into it, becoming his grave, a testament to his sorrow over the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny).

And what was narrated from Ibrahim ibn Hammad, with his chain of transmission, about the speech of the donkey he struck in Khaybar and said to him: "My name is Yazid ibn Shahab," so the Prophet(peace be upon him and his holy progeny)named him(peace be upon him and his holy progeny)Ya'fur, and that he would direct him to the homes of his companions, where he would knock on their doors with his head and summon them. It is also said that when the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) died, he fell into a well in grief and sorrow, and died.

- Abu Ghalib and Abu Abdullah both narrated to us, saying: Abu Sa'd ibn Abi Ulunah narrated to us: Abu Tahir al-Mukhlis and Abu Ahmad ibn al-Muhtadi both narrated to me, from Abu al-Hasan al-Asadi, Umar ibn Bashir ibn Musa, who said: Abu Hafs Umar ibn Mazid narrated to us, from Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn Ubayd ibn Abi al-Suhbah, who said: Abu Hudhayfah Abdullah ibn Habib al-Hudhali narrated to us, from Abu Abdullah al-Sulami, from Abu Manzur, who said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) opened Khaybar, he obtained four pairs of heavy armor, four pairs of light armor, ten ounces of gold and silver, and a black donkey that was bound. He said, Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) spoke to the donkey, and the donkey spoke back to him. The Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said to it, "What is your name?" It replied, "Yazid ibn Shihab. Allah, the Almighty, brought forth sixty donkeys from the lineage of my grandfather, all of whom were only ridden by prophets. I had expected you would ride me. There is no one left from the lineage of my grandfather except me, and no one among the prophets except you. I was once with a Jewish man before you, and I would intentionally stumble with him, and he would make my belly hungry and strike my back." Then the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said to it, "So you areYa'fur, O Ya'fur." It replied, "Ready." The Prophet asked, "Do you desire females?" It said, "No." So the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) would ride it in his needs, and when he dismounted, he would send it to the door of a man, and it would go to the door and knock its head against it. When the owner of the house came out to him, it would gesture to him to respond to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny). When the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) passed away, it went to a well that belonged to Abu Haytham ibn al-Tayyahan and fell into it, grieving over the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), and it became his grave.
