141. 'Abdullâh bin 'Ubaidullâh bin 'Abbâs said: "We were sitting with 'Abdullâh bin 'Abbâs and he said: 'By Allâh, the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ did not say specifically anything for us above the people, except for three things: He commanded us to do Wudû' properly,[1] not to consume charity, and not to mate donkeys with horses.”” (Hasan)
141 - أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عَرَبِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَهْضَمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: كُنَّا جُلُوسًا إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ: " وَاللَّهِ مَا خَصَّنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِشَيْءٍ دُونَ النَّاسِ إِلَّا بِثَلَاثَةِ أَشْيَاءَ: فَإِنَّهُ أَمَرَنَا أَنْ نُسْبِغَ الْوُضُوءَ، وَلَا نَأْكُلَ الصَّدَقَةَ، وَلَا نُنْزِيَ الْحُمُرَ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ "

[1] Isbâgh Al-Wudû'
1. The three things mentioned herein are not specific to the people of the Prophet's ﷺ household except for the prohibition of Zakât, which must not be taken by any member of the Prophet's household; or in other words, the prohibition of taking Zakât is specific to the people of the Prophet's household. 2. Cross-breeding of donkeys and horses is not forbidden but is nonetheless an inappropriate practice. Such cross-breeding results in a decrease of the number of horses, which was harmful to Muslim armies - armies that gained strength through horses during times of battle. In modern times, the cavalry does not hold the same significance that it used to hold during the time of the Prophet ﷺ. The said practice, therefore, may not at all be considered blameworthy, particularly so considering that the Prophet ﷺ is reported to have accepted the gift of a mule, and would often ride on a mule. Therefore, it seems that the practice of cross-breeding between donkeys and horses is inappropriate only under certain circumstances, namely, when Muslim soldiers are in need of horses during times of war.
