Musnad Abi Ya'la 5396 — a man came to him and asked: Have you heard
حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، قَالَ : جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ : أَسَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ فِي الْخَيْلِ شَيْئًا ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، يَقُولُ : الْخَيْلُ مَعْقُودٌ فِي نَوَاصِيهَا الْخَيْرُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ، اشْتَرُوا عَلَى اللهِ ، وَاسْتَقْرِضُوا عَلَى اللهِ ، قِيلَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، كَيْفَ نَشْتَرِي عَلَى اللهِ ، وَنَسْتَقْرِضُ عَلَى اللهِ ؟ قَالَ : قُولُوا : أَقْرِضْنَا إِلَى مَقَاسِمِنَا ، وَبِعْنَا إِلَى أَنْ يَفْتَحَ اللهُ لَنَا ، لَا تَزَالُونَ بِخَيْرٍ مَا دَامَ جِهَادُكُمْ خَضِرًا ، وَسَيَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ قَوْمٌ يَشُكُّونَ فِي الْجِهَادِ ، فَجَاهِدُوا فِي زَمَانِهِمْ ، ثُمَّ اغْزُوا ، فَإِنَّ الْغَزْوَ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَخْضَرُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to him and asked: "Have you heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say anything about horses?" He replied: "Yes, I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Goodness and blessing is tied to the forelocks of horses until the Day of Resurrection. Buy (horses) relying on Allah, and take loans (for that) relying on Allah.'" It was said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), how should we buy and take loans relying on Allah?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Say: 'Aqridna ila maqasimina' (Lend to us until our shares (of the spoils) are distributed), and 'Bi'na ila an yaftaha Allahu lana' (Sell (a horse) to us until Allah grants us victory). You will remain upon goodness as long as your jihad remains fresh and green. And soon, at the end of time, there will be people who will express doubts about jihad; so wage jihad in their time as well, and fight, for fighting in those days will be most fresh and flourishing (in terms of reward)."
