3602. It was narrated that Jarîr said: “I saw the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ twisting the forelock of a horse with his two fingers, and saying: ‘Goodness is tied to the forelocks of horses until the Day of Resurrection: Reward and spoils of war.’” (Sahih)

Arabic text

3572 - أَخْبَرَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ جَرِيرٍ، عَنْ جَرِيرٍ، قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَفْتِلُ نَاصِيَةَ فَرَسٍ بَيْنَ أُصْبُعَيْهِ، وَيَقُولُ: " الْخَيْلُ مَعْقُودٌ فِي نَوَاصِيهَا الْخَيْرُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ: الْأَجْرُ وَالْغَنِيمَةُ "

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.
