٣٤٩١٣ - حدثنا أبو أسامة عن شبل عن ابن أبي نجيح عن مجاهد قوله: ﴿مُسَوِّمِينَ﴾ [آل عمران: ١٢٥]، معلمين (مجزوزة) (١) أذناب خيولهم عليها العهن والصوف.
Hazrat Ibn Abi Najeeh (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Hazrat Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) said regarding the saying of Allah, the Lord of Might { مُسَوِّمِینَ }: that they were marked. That is, the tails of their horses were cut and there was wool on them.
