Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 9347

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : " إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْخَيْلَ الْمُثَفَّلَةَ ؛ فَإِنَّهَا إِنْ تَلْقَ تَفِرَّ وَإِنْ تَغْنَمْ تَغُلَّ" .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَكَأَنَّهُ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَرَادَ بِالْخَيْلِ أَصْحَابَ الْخَيْلِ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ ، وَفِيهِ ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ وَحَدِيثُهُ حَسَنٌ وَفِيهِ ضَعْفٌ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ ثِقَاتٌ .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Beware of sluggish horses, for if it meets (the enemy) it will flee, and if you obtain spoils, you will commit embezzlement."
Imam Ahmad recorded it. Perhaps by horses here are meant the people who own the horses, and Allah knows best. Its chain contains a narrator, Ibn Lahi'ah; his hadith is hasan (good), and there is weakness in him. The remaining narrators of this report are thiqat (trustworthy).
