Distribution of Water - 5th Rabi' al-Awwal 1431 (19th February 2010)

Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Keeping horses may be
a source of reward to some (man), a shelter to another (i.e. means of
earning one's living), or a burden to a third. He to whom the horse will be
a source of reward is the one who keeps it in Allah's Cause (prepare it for
holy battles) and ties it by a long rope in a pasture (or a garden). He
will get a reward equal to what its long rope allows it to eat in the
pasture or the garden, and if that horse breaks its rope and crosses one or
two hills, then all its foot-steps and its dung will be counted as good
deeds for its owner; and if it passes by a river and drinks from it, then
that will also be regarded as a good deed for its owner even if he has had
no intention of watering it then.

Horses are a shelter from poverty to the second person who keeps horses for
earning his living so as not to ask others, and at the same time he gives
Allah's right (i.e. Rakat) (from the wealth he earns through using them in
trading etc.,) and does not overburden them.

He who keeps horses just out of pride and for showing off and as a means of
harming the Muslims, his horses will be a source of sins to him." When
Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) was asked about donkeys, he
replied, "Nothing particular was revealed to me regarding."
