Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 3574
This hadith about horse forelocks records a concise saying of the Messenger of Allah. Urwah Al-Bariqi reports that goodness is tied to the forelocks of horses until the Day of Resurrection. The image of goodness being tied to the forelock makes the statement easy to remember. This particular narration does not explain the goodness further, mention spoils, or describe the owner’s intention. It also does not identify a certain horse or event. A careful explanation therefore stays with the two points stated in the text: goodness is connected with horses, and that connection continues until the Day of Resurrection. Readers searching for the Urwah Al-Bariqi horse hadith will find the complete teaching in this short sentence.
