[Machine] I participated in a military expedition with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in one of his campaigns. I was riding on a weak and thin horse when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ caught up with me. He said to me, "Tell me in secret, O companion of the horse." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, it is a weak and thin horse." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then raised a whip that he had with him and struck the horse with it, saying, "O Allah, bless him with it." He then said, "Indeed, I have seen that I do not own even the value of its head, if people were to advance." He further added, "I have sold it for twelve thousand."
غزوت مع رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي بَعْضِ غَزَوَاتِهِ وَأَنَا عَلَى فَرَسٍ لِي «عَجْفَاءَ ضَعِيفَةً فَلَحِقَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ» فَقَالَ سِرْ يَا صَاحِبَ الْفَرَسِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ «عَجْفَاءُ ضَعِيفَةٌ فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِخْفَقَةً كَانَتْ مَعَهُ فَضَرَبَهَا بِهَا» وَقَالَ «اللهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَهُ فِيهَا» قَالَ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي مَا أَمْلِكُ رَأْسَهَا إنْ تَقَدُمَ النَّاسَ قال فلَقَدْ بِعْتُ مِنْ بَطْنِهَا بِاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا
