عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " الْخَيْلُ ثَلَاثَةٌ : فَرَسٌ يَرْتَبِطُهُ الرَّجُلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - قِيمَتُهُ أَجْرٌ وَرُكُوبُهُ أَجْرٌ ، وَعَارِيَتُهُ أَجْرٌ ، وَعَلَفُهُ أَجْرٌ ، وَفَرَسٌ يُغَالِقُ عَلَيْهِ الرَّجُلُ وَيُرَاهِنُ ، قِيمَتُهُ وِزْرٌ وَرُكُوبُهُ وِزْرٌ وَعَارِيَتُهُ وِزْرٌ وَعَلَفُهُ وِزْرٌ ، وَفَرَسٌ لِلْبِطْنَةِ فَعَسَى أَنْ تَكُونَ سَدَادًا مِنَ الْفَقْرِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ " .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
وَقَدْ تَقَدَّمَ حَدِيثُ خَبَّابٍ الَّذِي رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ قَبْلَ هَذَا .
A man from the Ansar narrates this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Horses are of three kinds. One is the horse that a man keeps tethered in the way of Allah: its price is a reward, riding it is a reward, lending it is a reward, and its fodder is a reward. One is the horse that a man keeps for contests and racing (that is, for gambling): its price is a burden (that is, a sin), riding it is a sin, lending it is a sin, and its fodder is a sin. And one is the horse that a man keeps for (personal) use, and it saves the man from poverty, if Allah wills."
Imam Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih. Before this, the hadith reported from Sayyiduna Khabbab (may Allah be pleased with him), which Imam al-Tabarani recorded, has already passed; it has passed before this.

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " الْخَيْلُ ثَلَاثَةٌ ؛ فَفَرَسٌ لِلرَّحْمَنِ وَفَرَسٌ لِلْإِنْسَانِ وَفَرَسٌ لِلشَّيْطَانِ ، فَأَمَّا فَرَسُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَالَّذِي يَرْتَبِطُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - فَعَلَفُهُ وَبَوْلُهُ وَرَوْثُهُ - وَذَكَرَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ - وَأَمَّا فَرَسُ الشَّيْطَانِ فَالَّذِي يُقَامِرُ عَلَيْهِ وَيُرَاهِنُ عَلَيْهِ ، وَأَمَّا فَرَسُ الْإِنْسَانِ فَالْفَرَسُ يَرْتَبِطُهَا الْإِنْسَانُ يَلْتَمِسُ بَطْنَهَا فَهِيَ سَتْرٌ مِنْ فَقْرٍ" .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ ، فَإِنْ كَانَ الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ سَمِعَ مِنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فَالْحَدِيثُ صَحِيحٌ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Horses are of three kinds: a horse for the Most Merciful, a horse for man, and a horse for Satan. As for the horse of the Most Merciful, it is the one that a man keeps tethered in the way of Allah: its fodder, its urine and its dung (after that he mentioned whatever Allah willed). As for the horse of Satan, it is the one on which a man gambles and which he takes to horse races. As for the horse of man, it is the horse that a man keeps tethered seeking to breed from it, and it is a protection against poverty."
Imam Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy). If al-Qasim bin Hassan heard from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), then this hadith is "sahih" (authentic).

Hadith Takhrij «اخرجه احمد فى المسند (3756) ، أخرجه مسند أحمد برقم: 3747»
وَعَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " الْخَيْلُ فِي نَوَاصِيهَا الْخَيْرُ مَعْقُودٌ أَبَدًا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ، فَمَنِ ارْتَبَطَهَا عُدَّةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَأَنْفَقَ عَلَيْهَا احْتِسَابًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ شِبَعَهَا وَرِيَّهَا وَظَمَأَهَا وَأَرْوَاثَهَا وَأَبْوَالَهَا فَلَاحٌ فِي مَوَازِينِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، وَمَنِ ارْتَبَطَهَا رِيَاءً وَسُمْعَةً وَفَرَحًا وَمَرَحًا فَإِنَّ شِبَعَهَا وَجُوعَهَا وَرِيَّهَا وَأَرْوَاثَهَا وَأَبْوَالَهَا خُسْرَانٌ فِي مَوَازِينِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَفِيهِ شَهْرٌ وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ .
Sayyidah Asma' bint Yazid (may Allah be pleased with her) says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Goodness has been placed in the forelocks of horses forever until the Day of Resurrection. Whoever keeps one tethered as preparation (for jihad) in the way of Allah and spends on it hoping for reward in the way of Allah, then its being full, its having drunk, its thirst, its dung and its urine will be a source of success in his scale on the Day of Resurrection. And whoever keeps one tethered for showing off, for display, for exultation and for luxury, then its eating, its hunger, its having drunk, its dung and its urine will be a source of loss in his scale on the Day of Resurrection."
Imam Ahmad recorded it. Its chain contains a narrator, Shahr, who is da'if (weak).

Hadith Takhrij «اخرجه احمد فى المسند (455/6) ، أخرجه مسند أحمد برقم: 27027»
وَعَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " الْخَيْلُ مَعْقُودٌ فِي نَوَاصِيهَا الْخَيْرُ وَالنُّبْلُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ، وَأَهْلُهَا مُعَانُونَ عَلَيْهَا فَامْسَحُوا بِنَوَاصِيهَا ، وَادْعُوا لَهَا بِالْبَرَكَةِ ، وَقَلِّدُوهَا وَلَا تُقَلِّدُوهَا الْأَوْتَارَ" . قَالَ عَلِيٌّ : " وَلَا تُقَلِّدُوهَا الْأَوْثَانَ " .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ بِاخْتِصَارٍ وَرِجَالُ أَحْمَدَ ثِقَاتٌ .
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Goodness and excellence (or nobility) have been tied to the forelocks of horses until the Day of Resurrection, and their owners are helped in looking after them. So pass your hands over their forelocks, pray for blessing for them, and put collars on them, but do not hang bowstrings on them." A narrator named Ali reported these words: "Do not hang idols on their necks."
Imam Ahmad recorded it, and Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat in abridged form. The narrators of Imam Ahmad are thiqat (trustworthy).
