Hadith 5178
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْخَيْلِ فَقَالَ الْخَيْلُ مَعْقُودٌ فِي نَوَاصِيهَا الْخَيْرُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَهِيَ لِرَجُلٍ أَجْرٌ وَهِيَ لِرَجُلٍ سِتْرٌ وَهِيَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ وِزْرٌ فَأَمَّا الَّذِي هِيَ لَهُ أَجْرٌ الَّذِي يَتَّخِذُهَا وَيَحْبِسُهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَمَا غَيَّبَتْ فِي بُطُونِهَا فَهُوَ لَهُ أَجْرٌ وَإِنِ اسْتَنَّتْ مِنْهُ شَرَفًا أَوْ شَرَفَيْنِ كَانَ لَهُ فِي كُلِّ خُطْوَةٍ خَطَتْهَا أَجْرٌ وَلَوْ عَرَضَ لَهُ نَهْرٌ فَسَقَاهَا مِنْهُ كَانَ لَهُ بِكُلِّ قَطْرَةٍ غَيَّبَتْهَا فِي بُطُونِهَا أَجْرٌ حَتَّى ذَكَرَ الْأَجْرَ فِي أَرْوَاثِهَا وَأَبْوَالِهَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the horse, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Goodness has been tied to the forelocks of horses until the Day of Resurrection. For some, a horse is a source of reward, for some a means of covering, and for some a cause of sin. The horse that is a source of reward is the one which a person keeps for the sake of Allah’s path. Whatever that horse eats, there is reward in it for its owner, and when it walks up to one or two hills, for every step its owner receives reward. If a stream comes before it and it drinks water from it, for every drop it drinks, the owner receives reward. To the extent that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) even mentioned the reward for its dung and urine.
