Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ، حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ لَمْ يَكُنْ شَىْءٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَعْدَ النِّسَاءِ مِنَ الْخَيْلِ .
Translation
Ahmad ibn Hafs ibn ʿAbdullah reported to us; he said: My father narrated to me; he said: Ibrahim ibn Tahman narrated to me, from Saʿid ibn Abi ʿArubah, from Qatadah, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: ‘After women, nothing was dearer to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, than horses.’
