It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Kabshah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Goodness and blessing are tied to the forelocks of horses; their owners are given (unseen) help (in raising them); and the one who spends on them is like a person who stretches out his hand in charity." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it with this addition. There is also a supporting narration (shahid) for it regarding this addition.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn al-Hanzaliyyah al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one who spends on horses in the way of Allah is like a person who stretches out both his hands in charity and does not then draw them back (out of miserliness)."
