وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، وَابْنُ، إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ الْبَارِقِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ الْخَيْرُ مَعْقُوصٌ بِنَوَاصِي الْخَيْلِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِمَ ذَاكَ قَالَ ‏"‏ الأَجْرُ وَالْمَغْنَمُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us; Ibn Fudayl and Ibn Idris narrated to us, from Husayn, from al-Shabi, from Urwah al-Bariqi, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Good is bound to the forelocks of horses.” He was asked, “Messenger of Allah, why is that?” He said: “Reward and spoils until the Day of Resurrection.”
