The Rewards of Horse Rearing

SUMMARY: Horses are a great benefit to mankind and will be rewarded for their service until the Day of Judgment.

It has been narrated on the authority of Jarir b. Abdullah who said: I saw that the Messenger of Allah was twisting the forelock of a horse with his fingers and he was saying: (A great) benefit. i. e. reward (for rearing them for Jihad) and spoils of war, has been tied to the forelocks of horses until the Day of Judgment.
وَحَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، وَصَالِحُ بْنُ حَاتِمِ بْنِ وَرْدَانَ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ يَزِيدَ، - قَالَ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، - حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ جَرِيرٍ، عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَلْوِي نَاصِيَةَ فَرَسٍ بِإِصْبَعِهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ الْخَيْلُ مَعْقُودٌ بِنَوَاصِيهَا الْخَيْرُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ الأَجْرُ وَالْغَنِيمَةُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance and rewards associated with rearing horses for jihad. It was narrated by Jarir b. Abdullah, who said that he saw the Prophet Muhammad twisting the forelock of a horse with his fingers while saying “Al-Fadl”, which means benefit or reward in Arabic. This is referring to the reward that comes from rearing horses for jihad, which is an Islamic term meaning struggle or holy war. The Prophet Muhammad was emphasizing that this reward will remain tied to horses until Yawm al-Qiyamah, which is Arabic for Day of Judgment. This hadith teaches us that we should take care and appreciate animals such as horses because they can bring us great benefits in life and even after death on the Day of Judgment when we are judged by Allah according to our deeds on Earth.
