Narrated Zirr bin Hubaish:
I asked Ubai bin Ka’b, “O Abu AlMundhir! Your brother, Ibn Mas’ud said so-and-so (i.e., the two
Mu’awwidh-at do not belong to the Quran).” Ubai said, “I asked Allah’s Apostle about them, and he
said, ‘They have been revealed to me, and I have recited them (as a part of the Quran),” So Ubai ad –
ded, “So we say as Allah’s Apostle has said.”

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, ” Horses are kept for one of three purposes: A man may keep them (for Allah’s
Cause) to receive a reward in the Hereafter; another may keep them as a means of protection; and a
third may keep them to be a burden for him. As for the man for whom the horse is a source of re –
ward, he is the one who ties it for Allah’s Cause, and he ties it with a long rope in a pasture or a
garden, then, whatever it eats or drinks in that pasture or garden will be added to his good deeds.
And if it breaks its rope and jumps over one or two hills, then, for all its footsteps and its manure,

er had no intention to water it from that river, even then he will have good deeds written for him. So
that horse will be (a source of) reward for such a man.
If a man ties a horse for earning his livelihood and abstaining from asking others for help and he
does not forget Allah’s right, i.e. pays its Zakat and gives it to be used in Allah’s Cause, then that horse
will be a means of protection for him. But if a man ties it out of pride and to show off and to excite
others, then that horse will be a burden (of sins) for him.” Then Allah’s Apostle was asked regarding
donkeys. He replied, “Nothing has been revealed to me except this comprehensive Verse which in –
cludes everything:
‘So whoever does good equal to the weight of an atom (or a smallest ant) shall see it; and whoever
does evil equal to the weight of an atom (or a smallest ant) shall see it.’ (99.7-8)
