It has been narrated on the authority of Jarir bin'Abdullah who said: I saw that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) 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.
