٥٦۔٤٤ باب الْجِهَادُ مَاضٍ مَعَ الْبَرِّ وَالْفَاجِرِ

[Machine] According to the saying of the Prophet ﷺ: "Goodness is tied to the forelocks of horses until the Day of Judgment."

لِقَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ: «الْخَيْلُ مَعْقُودٌ فِي نَوَاصِيهَا الْخَيْرُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ».

bukhari:2852Abū Nuʿaym > Zakariyyāʾ > ʿĀmir > ʿUrwah al-Bāriqī

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Good will remain (as a permanent quality) in the foreheads of horses (for Jihad) till the Day of Resurrection, for they bring about either a reward (in the Hereafter) or (war) booty (in this world)."  

البخاري:٢٨٥٢حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ عَنْ عَامِرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عُرْوَةُ الْبَارِقِيُّ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ الْخَيْلُ مَعْقُودٌ فِي نَوَاصِيهَا الْخَيْرُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ الأَجْرُ وَالْمَغْنَمُ
