Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35739 — Horses and the good mentioned on them
٣٥٧٣٩ - حدثنا وكيع قال: ثنا المسعودي عن مزاحم بن زفر التيمي عن رجل عن خباب قال: الخيل ثلاثة: فرس للَّه، وفرس لك، وفرس للشيطان، فأما الفرس الذي للَّه فالفرس الذي يغزى عليه، وأما الفرس الذي لك فالفرس الذي يستبطنه الرجل، وأما الفرس الذي للشيطان فما (قومر) (١) عليه وروهن (٢).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Khabbab (may Allah be pleased with him): "Horses are of three kinds: one that is for Allah, a second that is for you (the owner), and a third that is for Satan. As for the one for Allah, it is the horse on which jihad is fought. The one for you is the horse that a man keeps to fill his belly. And the one for Satan is the horse on which gambling and wagers are placed."
