وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ وَابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ الْبَارِقِيِّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " الْخَيْرُ مَعْقُوصٌ بِنَوَاصِي الْخَيْلِ " ، قَالَ : فَقِيلَ لَهُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، بِمَ ذَاكَ ؟ ، قَالَ : " الْأَجْرُ وَالْمَغْنَمُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ " .
'Urwat al-Bariqi reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) having said this: Good is tied to the forelock of the horses. It Was said to him: Messenger of Allah, why is it so? He (the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said): For reward and booty until the Day of Judgment.
