It is narrated from Hazrat Amr bin Maimoon that when Hazrat Jaunah bin Harith (may Allah be pleased with him) was at the frontier of Maltiyah, he wrote a letter to Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him) saying: People perform jihad on different horses, some on a jaz’ (young horse), some on a thani (older horse), and there is no objection from the Muslims regarding this. And some perform jihad on a bardhawn horse, which is not less than other horses except that it is called bardhawn. O Commander of the Faithful, what is your opinion about this? Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him) wrote in reply: Inform the riders of the mixed-breed horses, which are not objected to by the Muslims, that there is no (separate) share for them. Take them along or leave them. And as for the Turkish-breed horses, which are pleasing to look at, give them the same share as is given to the Arabian-breed horses.
