Commentary
The power and ability of the riding animal is needed in journey, so the riding animal needs grazing, eating and drinking to keep and maintain the power and ability. This need can easily be fulfilled in areas of grass and vegetation; therefore the riding animal should get its chance. If it is the area of drought, the grass and greenery is not available easily; in this case marching hastily and caring for the power and ability of the riding animal, it should get a chance to reach such a place.
In the Name of Allāh,the Merciful, the Beneficent
