Hadith 5197
عَنْ شُرَحْبِيلَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ أَنَّ رَوْحَ بْنَ زِنْبَاعٍ زَارَ تَمِيمًا الدَّارِيَّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَوَجَدَهُ يُنَقِّي شَعِيرًا لِفَرَسِهِ قَالَ وَحَوْلَهُ أَهْلُهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَوْحٌ أَمَا كَانَ فِي هَؤُلَاءِ مَنْ يَكْفِيكَ قَالَ تَمِيمٌ بَلَى وَلَكِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ يُنَقِّي لِفَرَسِهِ شَعِيرًا ثُمَّ يَعْلِفُهُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا كُتِبَ لَهُ بِكُلِّ حَبَّةٍ حَسَنَةٌ
Sharhabeel bin Muslim Khaulani says: Ruh bin Zinba’ came to meet Sayyiduna Tamim Dari (may Allah be pleased with him) and found him in the state that he was cleaning barley for his horse, and his wife and children were sitting around him. Ruh said: Is there not among these people a servant who could suffice you in this task? Sayyiduna Tamim (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Yes, of course, but the real matter is that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: “When a Muslim man cleans barley for his horse and feeds it to him, then for every single grain, a good deed is written for him.”
Hadith 5198
عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ الْحَنْظَلِيَّةِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ قَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمُنْفِقُ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ كَبَاسِطِ يَدَيْهِ بِالصَّدَقَةِ لَا يَقْبِضُهَا
Sayyiduna Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from Sayyiduna Suhail bin Hanzaliyah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said to us: The one who spends on a horse in the way of Allah is like a person who has spread out his hands with charity and does not close them.
Hadith 5199
عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُضْمِرُ الْخَيْلَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) used to arrange for the training of horses.
Hadith 5200
عَنْ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدٍ السُّلَمِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ جَزِّ أَعْرَافِ الْخَيْلِ وَنَتْفِ أَذْنَابِهَا وَجَزِّ نَوَاصِيهَا وَقَالَ أَمَّا أَذْنَابُهَا فَإِنَّهَا مَذَابُّهَا وَأَمَّا أَعْرَافُهَا فَإِنَّهَا إِدْفَاؤُهَا وَأَمَّا نَوَاصِيهَا فَإِنَّ الْخَيْرَ مَعْقُودٌ فِيهَا زَادَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ وَنَوَاصِيهَا مَعْقُودٌ بِهَا الْخَيْرُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Utbah bin Abd Salma (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade cutting the hair of a horse’s neck, tail, and forehead, and said: The tails of horses drive away (flies and the like), the hair of the neck protects them from the cold, and as for the foreheads—how excellent they are, for Allah Almighty has attached goodness to them until the Day of Resurrection.
