The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Good will remain (as a permanent quality) in the foreheads of horses (for Jihad) till
the Day of Resurrection, for they bring about either a reward (in the Hereafter) or (war) booty (in this world).”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “If somebody keeps a horse in Allah’s Cause motivated by his faith in Allah and his
belief in His Promise, then he will be rewarded on the Day of Resurrection for what the horse has
eaten or drunk and for its dung and urine.”

(from his father) Abu Qatada went out (on a journey) with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) but he was left behind with
some of his companions who were in the state of Ihram. He himself was not in the state of Ihram.
They saw an opener before he could see it. When they saw the opener, they did not speak anything till
Abu Qatada saw it. So, he rode over his horse called Al-Jarada and requested them to give him his
lash, but they refused. So, he himself took it and then attacked the opener and slaughtered it. He ate of
its meat and his companions ate, too, but they regretted their eating. When they met the Prophet (they
asked him about it) and he asked, “Have you some of its meat (left) with you?” Abu Qatada replied,
“Yes, we have its leg with us.” So, the Prophet (ﷺ) took and ate it.

In our garden there was a horse belonging to the Prophet (ﷺ) called Al-Luhaif or Al-Lakhif.

I was a companion rider of the Prophet (ﷺ) on a donkey called ‘Ufair. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, “O Mu`adh! Do
you know what Allah’s right on His slaves is, and what the right of His slaves on Him is?” I replied,
“Allah and His Apostle know better.” He said, “Allah’s right on His slaves is that they should worship
Him (Alone) and should not worship any besides Him. And slave’s right on Allah is that He should
not punish him who worships none besides Him.” I said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Should I not inform the
people of this good news?” He said, “Do not inform them of it, lest they should depend on it
(absolutely).

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Whoever spends two things in Allah’s Cause, will be called by all the gate-keepers
of Paradise who will be saying, ‘O so-and-so! Come here.’ ” Abu Bakr said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Such
persons will never be destroyed.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “I hope you will be one of them.”

Once there was a feeling of fright in Medina, so the Prophet (ﷺ) borrowed a horse belonging to us called
Mandub (and he rode away on it). (When the Prophet (ﷺ) returned) he said, “I have not seen anything of
fright and I found it (i.e. this horse) very fast.”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) ascended the pulpit and said, “Nothing worries me as to what will happen to you after
me, except the temptation of worldly blessings which will be conferred on you.” Then he mentioned
the worldly pleasures. He started with the one (i.e. the blessings) and took up the other (i.e. the
pleasures). A man got up saying, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Can the good bring about evil?” The Prophet (ﷺ)
remained silent and we thought that he was being inspired divinely, so all the people kept silent with
awe. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) wiped the sweat off his face and asked, “Where is the present questioner?” “Do
you think wealth is good?” he repeated thrice, adding, “No doubt, good produces nothing but good.
Indeed it is like what grows on the banks of a stream which either kills or nearly kills the grazing
animals because of gluttony except the vegetation-eating animal which eats till both its flanks are full
(i.e. till it gets satisfied) and then stands in the sun and defecates and urinates and again starts grazing.
This worldly property is sweet vegetation. How excellent the wealth of the Muslim is, if it is collected
through legal means and is spent in Allah’s Cause and on orphans, poor people and travelers. But he
who does not take it legally is like an eater who is never satisfied and his wealth will be a witness
against him on the Day of Resurrection.”

I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying. “Evil omen is in three things: The horse, the woman and the house.”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, ” He who pre pares a Ghazi going in Allah’s Cause is given a reward equal to
that of) a Ghazi; and he who looks after properly the dependents of a Ghazi going in Allah’s Cause is
(given a reward equal to that of) Ghazi.”
