Arabic (Original)
قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الرُّكَيْنُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ عُمَيْلَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو الشَّيْبَانِيِّ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ الْخَيْلُ ثَلَاثَةٌ فَرَسٌ يَرْبِطُهُ الرَّجُلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَثَمَنُهُ أَجْرٌ وَرُكُوبُهُ أَجْرٌ وَعَارِيَتُهُ أَجْرٌ وَعَلَفُهُ أَجْرٌ وَفَرَسٌ يُغَالِقُ عَلَيْهِ الرَّجُلُ وَيُرَاهِنُ فَثَمَنُهُ وِزْرٌ وَعَلَفُهُ وِزْرٌ وَفَرَسٌ لِلْبِطْنَةِ فَعَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ سَدَادًا مِنْ الْفَقْرِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى.

He said: Mu'awiyah ibn 'Amr narrated to us, he said: Za'idah narrated to us, he said: al-Rukayn ibn al-Rabi' ibn 'Umaylah narrated to us, from Abu 'Amr al-Shaybani, from a man of the Ansar, from the Prophet, who said: "Horses are of three kinds: a horse which a man ties up in the way of God, the Mighty and Majestic -- its price is a reward, its riding is a reward, its lending is a reward, and its fodder is a reward; a horse which a man keeps for gambling and wagering -- its price is a sin and its fodder is a sin; and a horse kept for filling the belly, which may well be a shield against poverty, if God the Exalted wills."
