Arabic text

4816 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ اسْتَشَارَ النَّاسَ فِي الْجَنِينِ، فَقَالَ حَمَلُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ: «قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْجَنِينِ غُرَّةً» قَالَ طَاوُسٌ: «إِنَّ الْفَرَسَ غُرَّةٌ»

Commentary

In the Traditions, the expression Ghurrah has been explained to signify a slave man or a slave woman. Ta'wûs included the horse also. The price might probably have been kept in view, and the horse might have been equal to a slave or slave woman in their value.
