Hadith 6579

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا نَافِعُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " حَوْضِي مَسِيرَةُ شَهْرٍ ، مَاؤُهُ أَبْيَضُ مِنَ اللَّبَنِ ، وَرِيحُهُ أَطْيَبُ مِنَ الْمِسْكِ ، وَكِيزَانُهُ كَنُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ ، مَنْ شَرِبَ مِنْهَا فَلَا يَظْمَأُ أَبَدًا " .
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Amr: The Prophet said, "My Lake-Fount is (so large that it takes) a month's journey to cross it. Its water is whiter than milk, and its smell is nicer than musk (a kind of Perfume), and its drinking cups are (as numerous) as the (number of) stars of the sky; and whoever drinks from it, will never be thirsty."

The horse is a noble and excellent means of transport; it can be used for both lawful and unlawful purposes, and its best use is to employ it in jihad. This use will remain until the Day of Judgment.
Thus, by being used in jihad until the Day of Judgment, it will continue to be a source of reward and spoils for its owner.
