‘Ali told that Allah's Messenger ﷺ was presented with a she-mule which he rode, so ‘Ali said, “If we made asses cover mares we would have animals of this type,” to which Allah's Messenger ﷺ replied, “Only those who do not know do that.” Abu Dawud and Nasa’i transmitted it.
وَعَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: أُهْدِيَتْ رَسُول الله صلى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسلم بغلةٌ فركِبَهَا فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ: لَوْ حَمَلْنَا الْحَمِيرَ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ فَكَانَتْ لَنَا مِثْلُ هَذِهِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّمَا يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ الَّذِينَ لَا يعلمُونَ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد وَالنَّسَائِيّ
