Commentary
1. The Prophet's ﷺ plaiting the horse's forelock with his own blessed hands was due to his love of horses.
2. 'Till the Day of Resurrection': From this it inevitably yields that the Jihād would continue until the Day of Resurrection; and it should be continued, irrespective of whether the ruler is good or bad.
