Sahih Muslim 1873 b
'Urwat al-Bariqi reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) having said this
Good is tied to the forelock of the horses. It Was said to him: Messenger of Allah , why is it so? He (the Prophet (ﷺ) said): For reward and booty until the Day of Judgment.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 " .
