\nNarrated Abu Huraira:\n \n\nAllah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, " Horses are kept for one of three purposes; for some people they are a source of \nreward, for some others they are a means of shelter and for some others they are a source of sins. The \none for whom they are a source of reward, is he who keeps a horse for Allah's Cause (i.e. Jihad) tying \nit with a long tether on a meadow or in a garden with the result that whatever it eats from the area of \nthe meadow or the garden where it is tied will be counted as good deeds for his benefit, and if it \nshould break its rope and jump over one or two hillocks then all its dung and its foot marks will be \nwritten as good deeds for him; and if it passes by a river and drinks water from it even though he had \nno intention of watering it, even then he will get the reward for its drinking. As for the man for whom \nhorses are a source of sins, he is the one who keeps a horse for the sake of pride and pretense and \nshowing enmity for Muslims: such a horse will be a source of sins for him. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was \nasked about donkeys, he replied, "Nothing has been revealed to me about them except this unique, \ncomprehensive Verse: "Then anyone who does an atom's (or a small ant's) weight of good shall see it; \nAnd anyone who does an atom's (or a small ant's) weight of evil, shall see it.' (101.7-8)\n
