"Messenger of Allah ﷺ arranged a horse race amongst the horses that had been made lean, letting them start from Al-Hafya' and their limit (distance of running) was up to Thaniyat-al-Wadaʿ. I asked Musa, 'What was the distance between the two places?' Musa replied, 'Six or seven miles. He arranged a race of the horses which had not been made lean sending them from Thaniyat-al-Wadaʿ, and their limit was up to the mosque of Bani Zuraiq.' I asked, 'What was the distance between those two places?' He replied 'One mile or so.' Ibn ʿUmar was amongst those who participated in that horse race."

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was riding a horse that had been prepared for him. He sent it from Al-Hafiya and its journey took two or three days. I asked Musa, "How far is it?" He said, "Six or seven miles." And there were horses that were not prepared, but he sent them from Masjid Bani Zuraiq and their journey took a mile or so. Ibn Umar said that he was among those who preceded the horses.
