Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah Messenger ﷺ said; Keeping horses may be a source of reward to some man ; a shelter to another i.e. means of earning one 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 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 footsteps 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 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 Messenger ﷺ was asked about donkeys; he replied; Nothing particular was revealed to me regarding them except the general unique verse which is applicable to everything: Whoever does goodness equal to the weight of an atom or small ant shall see it its reward on the Day of Resurrection.
