Under this chapter, the following sub-chapters and hadiths have been mentioned.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the horse, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Goodness has been tied to the forelocks of horses until the Day of Resurrection. For some, a horse is a source of reward, for some a means of covering, and for some a cause of sin. The horse that is a source of reward is the one which a person keeps for the sake of Allah’s path. Whatever that horse eats, there is reward in it for its owner, and when it walks up to one or two hills, for every step its owner receives reward. If a stream comes before it and it drinks water from it, for every drop it drinks, the owner receives reward. To the extent that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) even mentioned the reward for its dung and urine.

It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever keeps a horse in the way of Allah, believing in Allah and affirming His promise, then the horse’s satiation, its drinking, its urine and its dung—all these things will be counted as good deeds in his scale on the Day of Judgment.

It is narrated from Sayyida Asma bint Yazid (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Goodness has been attached to the forelocks of horses until the Day of Resurrection, that is, forever. So whoever ties a horse in preparation for the path of Allah and spends on it with the intention of reward for His cause, then its being full, being hungry, being quenched, being thirsty, and its urine—all these things will be a cause of success in his scales on the Day of Resurrection. But whoever keeps a horse for show, fame, and arrogance, then its being full, being hungry, being quenched, being thirsty, and its dung and urine—all these things will be a cause of loss in his scales on the Day of Resurrection.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Goodness has been placed in the forelocks of horses until the Day of Resurrection.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) has also narrated a similar type of Prophetic hadith.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Goodness and benefit will remain attached to the foreheads of horses until the Day of Resurrection, and their owners endure hardships while riding them. Therefore, touch the foreheads of horses and pray for blessings for them, and put collars on them, but they should not be made of hemp.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: There is blessing in the forelocks of horses.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jarir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would braid the mane of a horse with his fingers and would say: Goodness, that is, reward and spoils, have been attached to the foreheads of horses until the Day of Resurrection.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ma'qil bin Yasar (may Allah be pleased with him) that there is nothing which was more beloved to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) than horses. Then Sayyiduna Ma'qil (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Allah! Forgive me, no, rather women were most beloved to him.
