Yahfur the donkey is the first one believed in Prophet ?





An objector asked a Muslim : do you know who was the first Muslim, and believed in the Prophet ?

The Muslim answered: Yes I know; the first of the men believed in Islam was Abu Bakr, the first of the youths was Ali, and the first of women was Khadija (Allah bless them), the Christian said ironically : your answer is wrong, the first one who believed in Islam was Yahfur the donkey, and my evidence for this is :

Narrated from Abi Manthur : when Allah Almighty granted His messenger (peace be upon him) victory over Khaibar , his (peace be upon him) arrow hit four pairs of mules, and four pairs of shoes, ten ounces of gold and silver, and a black lumpy donkey.




Ha said: the Prophet (peace be upon him) talked to the donkey said to him : what is your name? donkey answered: Yazid Bin Shahab, there were sixty breeds from my grandfather and nobody rode us only prophets, there is only me left from the breeds, and there is no prophet except you, and I was expecting you to ride me, before you I was owned by a Jew, and I purposely caused him to stumble , he was starving me and beating my back, the prophet (peace be upon him) said: I’ll call you Yahfur, O Yahfur! The donkey said: here I am at your service, the prophet (peace be upon him) said: do you desire female donkeys? he said: No.




The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to ride the donkey when needed and whenever he (peace be upon him) got down off the donkey he (peace be upon him) would send the donkey to the door of the man, and the donkey would knock at the door with his head, when the owner of the house came out and the donkey would make gesture to the man to answer the prophet (peace be upon him), when the Prophet (peace be upon him) passed away, the donkey went to a well of Abi Tayhan he fell in it and died and it became his grave, he was so grieved for the Prophet (peace be upon him) .
