Volume 4, Book 52, Number 109:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Once there was a feeling of fright in Medina, so the Prophet borrowed a horse belonging to us
called Mandub (and he rode away on it). (When the Prophet returned) he said, “I have not seen any –
thing of fright and I found it (i.e. this horse) very fast.”

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 112:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, ” Horses are kept for one of three purposes; for some people they are a source
of reward, for some others they are a means of shelter and for some others they are a source of sins.
The one for whom they are a source of reward, is he who keeps a horse for Allah’s Cause (i.e. Jihad)
tying it with a long tether on a meadow or in a garden with the result that whatever it eats from the
area of the meadow or the garden where it is tied will be counted as good deeds for his benefit, and
if it should break its rope and jump over one or two hillocks then all its dung and its foot marks will
be written as good deeds for him; and if it passes by a river and drinks water from it even though he
had no intention of watering it, even then he will get the reward for its drinking. As for the man for
whom horses are a source of sins, he is the one who keeps a horse for the sake of pride and pretense
and showing enmity for Muslims: such a horse will be a source of sins for him. When Allah’s Apostle
was asked about donkeys, he replied, “Nothing has been revealed to me about them except this
unique, comprehensive Verse: “Then anyone who does an atom’s (or a small ant’s) weight of good
shall see it; And anyone who does an atom’s (or a small ant’s) weight of evil, shall see it.’ (101.7-8)

Volume 4 – 659 / 1700
SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 4 > BOOK 52: FIGHTING FOR THE CAUSE OF ALLAH (JIHAAD)
I called on Jabir bin ‘Abdullah Al-Ansari and said to him, “Relate to me what you have heard from
Allah’s Apostle .” He said, “I accompanied him on one of the journeys.” (Abu Aqil said, “I do not know
whether that journey was for the purpose of Jihad or ‘Umra.”) “When we were returning,” Jabir con –
tinued, “the Prophet said, ‘Whoever wants to return earlier to his family, should hurry up.’ We set off
and I was on a black red tainted camel having no defect, and the people were behind me. While I
was in that state the camel stopped suddenly (because of exhaustion). On that the Prophet said to me,
‘O Jabir, wait!’ Then he hit it once with his lash and it started moving on a fast pace. He then said,
‘Will you sell the camel?’ I replied in the affirmative when we reached Medina, and the Prophet went
to the Mosque along with his companions. I, too, went to him after tying the camel on the pavement
at the Mosque gate. Then I said to him, ‘This is your camel.’ He came out and started examining the
camel and saying, ‘The camel is ours.’ Then the Prophet sent some Awaq (i.e. an amount) of gold say –
ing, ‘Give it to Jabir.’ Then he asked, ‘Have you taken the full price (of the camel)?’ I replied in the af –
firmative. He said, ‘Both the price and the camel are for you.’ ”
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 114:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
There was a feeling of fright in Medina, so the Prophet borrowed a horse called Mandub belong –
ing ‘to Abu Talha and mounted it. (On his return), he said, “I did not see anything of fright and I
found this horse very fast.”

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 116:
Narrated Abu Ishaq:
Somebody asked Al-Bar-a bin ‘Azib, “Did you flee deserting Allah’s Apostle during the battle of
Hunain?” Al-Bara replied, “But Allah’s Apostle did not flee. The people of the Tribe of Hawazin were
good archers. When we met them, we attacked them, and they fled. When the Muslims started col –
lecting the war booty, the pagans faced us with arrows, but Allah’s Apostle did not flee. No doubt, I
saw him on his white mule and Abu Sufyan was holding its reins and the Prophet was saying, ‘I am
the Prophet in truth: I am the son of ‘Abdul Muttalib.’ “
