Hadith 68

Sahih Bukhari

Book 56: Fighting for the Cause of Allah (Jihaad)

Chapter 44

Jihad is to be carried on whether the Muslim ruler is good or bad

باب الْجِهَادُ مَاضٍ مَعَ الْبَرِّ وَالْفَاجِرِ

By virtue of the saying of the Prophet ﷺ, "Good will remain (as a permanent quality) in the forelocks of horses (meant for Jihad), till the Day of Resurrection."
لِقَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْخَيْلُ مَعْقُودٌ فِي نَوَاصِيهَا الْخَيْرُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ».
Sahih al-Bukhari 2852
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُرْوَةُ الْبَارِقِيُّ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ ‏‏.‏
"‏ الْخَيْلُ مَعْقُودٌ فِي نَوَاصِيهَا الْخَيْرُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ الأَجْرُ وَالْمَغْنَمُ ‏"
`Urwa Al-Bariqi:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Good will remain (as a permanent quality) in the foreheads of horses (for Jihad) till the Day of Resurrection, for they bring about either a reward (in the Hereafter) or (war) booty (in this world)."
