2305. It was narrated that 'Urwah Al-Bâriqi said in a Marfu'[1] report: "Camels are the pride of their owners, and sheep are a blessing, and goodness is tied to the forelocks of horses until the Day of Resurrection." (Sahih)

Arabic text

2305 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ الْبَارِقِيِّ، يَرْفَعُهُ، قَالَ: «الْإِبِلُ عِزٌّ لِأَهْلِهَا، وَالْغَنَمُ بَرَكَةٌ، وَالْخَيْرُ مَعْقُودٌ فِي نَوَاصِي الْخَيْلِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ»

Commentary

There are enormous benefits of a camel. It is still highly important, particularly in the desert territories. The goats bear more kids and the kids grow faster; and also they eat any type of fodder and tree leaves, etc. Therefore, they prove to be the source of blessing. The blessing of horses is interpreted with 'reward and war spoils' in another Hadith; i.e. they work for Jihād. (See Sahih Al-Bukhārī: 2852). Breeding and keeping animals is a source of lawful earning.
