Muhammad's Donkey

One day, Muhammad, the prophet of islam, had an interesting conversation with ... a donkey!

Assuming that animals communicate, Muhammad asked the donkey: What is your name?

My name is Yazid ibn (son of) Shihab said the donkey.

Thus, identifying himself as the son of his father much like the arabs of Muhammad's time did.

The donkey added:Allah had brought forth from my ancestry 60 donkeys, none of whom were ridden on except by prophets.

Then the donkey said:And I expected you to ride me!

(A true believer of Muhammad's prophethood!)

The donkey also admitted:Before you, I belonged to a jewish man whom I caused to stumble and fall frequently…

(Jihad?)

And the poor victim added:..so he used to starve me and beat my back!

(Islamophobia!)

Muhammad decided to change the donkey's name to Ya'foor.I'll call you Ya'foor, said Muhammad.

Then he asked Ya'foor a rather personal question.Ya'foor, do you desire females?

The donkey blushed and said: Sir! No Sir!

(A respectable donkey?)

So, Muhammad used to ride Ya'foor to complete his business. Sometimes he would send Ya'foor to knock at the door of a person he wanted to visit and the donkey would signal to that person to go see the prophet.

When Muhammad died, the donkey went to a well and threw himself in it out of sadness. Ya'foor commited suicide!

The sad thing about all this is that Ya'foor went to hell for committing suicide. It seems that the donkey wasn’t told that committing suicide is a sin that leads to hellfire!

Translation:

"When Allah opened Khaybar to his prophet Muhammad – may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him – he (Muhammad) received as his share of the spoils four sheep, four goats, ten pots of gold and silver and a black, haggard donkey. The prophet – may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him – addressed the donkey asking, ‘What is your name?’ the donkey answered, ‘Yazid Ibn Shihab. Allah had brought forth from my ancestry 60 donkeys, none of whom were ridden on except by prophets. None of the descendants of my grandfather remain but me, and none of the prophets remain but you and I expected you to ride me. Before you, I belonged to a Jewish man, whom I caused to stumble and fall frequently so he used to starve me and beat my back’. The prophet – may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him – said to him, ‘I will call you Ya’foor, Oh Ya’foor.’ Then Ya’foor replied, ‘I obey.’ The prophet then asked, ‘Do you desire females?’ The donkey replied, ‘No!’. So the prophet used to ride the donkey to complete his business and if the prophet dismounted from him he would send the donkey to the house of the person he wanted to visit and Ya’foor would knock at the door with his head. When the

owner of the house would answer the door, the donkey would signal to that person to go see the prophet. When the prophet died, the donkey went to a well belonging to Abu Al-Haytham Ibn Al-Tahyan and threw himself in the well out of sadness for the prophet’s death, making it his grave."
