وَلَكِنْ سَمِعْتُهُ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : الْخَيْرُ مَعْقُودٌ بِنَوَاصِي الْخَيْلِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ، قَالَ : وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ فِي دَارِهِ سَبْعِينَ فَرَسًا ، قَالَ سُفْيَانُ : يَشْتَرِي لَهُ شَاةً كَأَنَّهَا أُضْحِيَّةٌ " .
(In another narration) `Urwa said, "I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "There is always goodness in horses till the Day of Resurrection." (The subnarrator added, "I saw 70 horses in `Urwa's house.') (Sufyan said, "The Prophet asked `Urwa to buy a sheep for him as a sacrifice.")
