حَدِيثُ رَجُلٍ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ
Hadith of a man from the Ansar (may Allah be pleased with him)
Hadith 16645
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا الرُّكَيْنُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ عُمَيْلَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو الشَّيْبَانِيِّ ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " الْخَيْلُ ثَلَاثَةٌ فَرَسٌ يَرْبِطُهُ الرَّجُلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، فَثَمَنُهُ أَجْرٌ ، وَرُكُوبُهُ أَجْرٌ ، وَعَارِيَتُهُ أَجْرٌ ، وَعَلَفُهُ أَجْرٌ ، وَفَرَسٌ يُغَالِقُ عَلَيْهِ الرَّجُلُ وَيُرَاهِنُ ، فَثَمَنُهُ وِزْرٌ ، وَعَلَفُهُ وِزْرٌ ، وَفَرَسٌ لِلْبِطْنَةِ ، فَعَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ سَدَادًا مِنَ الْفَقْرِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى " .
It is narrated from an Ansari companion (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Horses are of three kinds: (1) Those horses which a person prepares for the path of Allah for jihad—their price is a source of reward, riding them is a source of reward, lending them is a source of reward, and feeding them is also a source of reward. (2) Those horses which entrap a person in the shell of arrogance, and he participates them in races for betting—their price is a source of burden and feeding them is also a source of burden. (3) Those horses which serve a person’s livelihood—soon these horses will become a means to remove his poverty and hunger, insha’Allah.
