[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, or I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "Goodness is tied to the forelocks of horses until the Day of Judgment." Sufyan said, and Mujalid added from Ash-Sha'bi, from Urwah Al-Barqi, "Both reward and booty (spoils of war) are mentioned." And Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz informed us, narrating from Abu Al-Abbas Muhammad ibn Ya'qub, narrating from Ahmad ibn Shayban, narrating from Sufyan ibn Uyaynah, from Shabeeb ibn Ghorqadah, from Urwah Al-Barqi, and from Mujalid, from Ash-Sha'bi, from Urwah Al-Barqi who said: "The Prophet ﷺ mentioned the same."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَوْ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ الْخَيْرُ مَعْقُودٌ فِي نَوَاصِي الْخَيْلِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ وَزَادَ فِيهِ مُجَالِدٌ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ الْبَارِقِيِّ الْأَجْرَ وَالْمَغْنَمَ 19744 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ شَيْبَانَ ثنا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ شَبِيبِ بْنِ غَرْقَدَةَ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ الْبَارِقِيِّ وَعَنْ مُجَالِدٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ الْبَارِقِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Keeping horses may be a source of reward to some (man), a shelter to another (i.e. means of earning one's living), or a burden to a third. He to whom the horse will be a source of reward is the one who keeps it in Allah's Cause (prepare it for holy battles) and ties it by a long rope in a pasture (or a garden). He will get a reward equal to what its long rope allows it to eat in the pasture or the garden, and if that horse breaks its rope and crosses one or two hills, then all its footsteps and its dung will be counted as good deeds for its owner; and if it passes by a river and drinks from it, then that will also be regarded as a good deed for its owner even if he has had no intention of watering it then. Horses are a shelter from poverty to the second person who keeps horses for earning his living so as not to ask others, and at the same time he gives Allah's right (i.e. rakʿat) (from the wealth he earns through using them in trading etc.,) and does not overburden them. He who keeps horses just out of pride and for showing off and as a means of harming the Muslims, his horses will be a source of sins to him." When Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about donkeys, he replied, "Nothing particular was revealed to me regarding them except the general unique verse which is applicable to everything: "Whoever does goodness equal to the weight of an atom (or small ant) shall see it (its reward) on the Day of Resurrection." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2371)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ الْخَيْلُ ثَلَاثَةٌ لِرَجُلٍ أَجْرٌ وَلِرَجُلٍ سِتْرٌ وَعَلَى رَجُلٍ وِزْرٌ فَأَمَّا الَّذِي هُوَ لَهُ أَجْرٌ فَرَجُلٌ رَبَطَهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَأَطَالَ لَهَا فِي مَرْجٍ أَوْ رَوْضَةٍ فَمَا أَصَابَتْ فِي طِيَلِهَا ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْمَرْجِ أَوِ الرَّوْضَةِ كَانَتْ لَهُ حَسَنَاتٍ وَلَوْ أَنَّهَا قَطَعَتْ طِيَلَهَا فَاسْتَنَّتْ شَرَفًا أَوْ شَرَفَيْنِ كَانَتْ آثَارُهَا وَأَرْوَاثُهَا حَسَنَاتٍ لَهُ وَلَوْ أَنَّهَا مَرَّتْ بِنَهَرٍ فَشَرِبَتْ مِنْهُ وَلَمْ يُرِدْ أَنْ يَسْقِيَهَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ حَسَنَاتٍ لَهُ وَرَجُلٌ رَبَطَهَا تَغَنِّيًا وَتَعَفُّفًا وَسِتْرًا ثُمَّ لَمْ يَنْسَ حَقَّ اللهِ فِي رِقَابِهَا وَلَا ظُهُورِهَا فَهِيَ لِذَلِكَ سِتْرٌ وَرَجُلٌ رَبَطَهَا فَخْرًا وَرِئَاءً وَنِوَاءً لِأَهْلِ الْإِسْلَامِ فَهِيَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وِزْرٌ وَسُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْحُمُرِ فَقَالَ مَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَيَّ فِيهَا شَيْءٌ إِلَّا هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ الْجَامِعَةُ الْفَاذَّةُ {فَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُ وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُ} [الزلزلة 8]  

[Machine] Narrated by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed by Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz, who was informed by Abu Muhammad Al-Hasan ibn Muhammad ibn Halim, who was narrated by Abu Al-Muwwajih, who was narrated by Abdan, who was informed by Abdullah, who was informed by Talhah ibn Abi Saeed that he heard Sa'id Al-Maqburi saying that he heard Abu Hurairah saying that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever withholds a horse in the cause of Allah, believing in Allah and affirming His promise, his stomach, provision, urine, and manure will be counted as good deeds on the Day of Judgment." According to another narration by Ibn Wahb: "believing in Allah and affirming the promise of Allah."
