Commentary
In training the horses, they are given extra food for a period till they gain fat. Thereafter, their food is reduced and they are locked up in an enclosure where they sweat a lot and it dries at the same place. By this procedure its stamina improves, and it can run a long distance without exhaustion.
Hafyâ' and Thaniiyyatul-Wadâ' are the names of two places; the distance between them is three miles. The distance between Thaniiyyatul-Wadâ' and the mosque of Bani Zuraiq is one mile.
