Racing Horses in Islam

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ used to hold a race between horses and kept the one in the fifth year at a long distance.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: The Prophet used to hold a race between horses and kept the one in the fifth year at a long distance.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ سَبَّقَ بَيْنَ الْخَيْلِ وَفَضَّلَ الْقُرَّحَ فِي الْغَايَةِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Follow traditions passed down from generations before you; Treat your animals kindly; Be fair & just when competing with others; Appreciate your roots & where you come from; Compete fairly without giving preference or advantage over others .

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was known for his love of animals and horses were no exception. He would often organize races between them as part of his sunnah or tradition. He would keep the horse that was five years old at a longer distance than the other horses so that it could have an equal chance of winning. This teaches us to be fair and just when competing with others, even if they are not as strong or experienced as us. We should also take care of our animals and treat them kindly like the Prophet ﷺ did.

The hadith also shows us how important it is to follow traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation in order to stay connected with our past and learn from it. It is important for us to remember our roots and appreciate where we come from so that we can move forward together into a better future.
