Hadith 27574

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ ، حَدَّثَنِي شَهْرُ بْنُ حَوْشَبٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَتْنِي أَسْمَاءُ بِنْتُ يَزِيدَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : " الْخَيْلُ فِي نَوَاصِيهَا الْخَيْرُ مَعْقُودٌ أَبَدًا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ، فَمَنْ رَبَطَهَا عُدَّةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ، وَأَنْفَقَ عَلَيْهَا احْتِسَابًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ، فَإِنَّ شِبَعَهَا وَجُوعَهَا , وَرِيَّهَا , وَظَمَأَهَا , وَأَرْوَاثَهَا , وَأَبْوَالَهَا , فَلَاحٌ فِي مَوَازِينِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، وَمَنْ رَبَطَهَا رِيَاءً وَسُمْعَةً ، وَفَرَحًا وَمَرَحًا ، فَإِنَّ شِبَعَهَا وَجُوعَهَا ، وَرِيَّهَا وَظَمَأَهَا ، وَأَرْوَاثَهَا وَأَبْوَالَهَا خُسْرَانٌ فِي مَوَازِينِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Goodness has been tied to the forelocks of horses until the Day of Resurrection. So whoever keeps these horses as equipment in the way of Allah and spends on them with the intention of reward, then their being full or hungry, quenched or thirsty, and even their urine and dung will be a cause of success for him in his record of deeds on the Day of Resurrection. And whoever keeps these horses for show, pride, and arrogance, then their being full or hungry, quenched or thirsty, and their urine and dung will be a cause of loss for him in his record of deeds on the Day of Resurrection."
