Chapter on Horses, Keeping Them, and the First to Ride Them
وَ رَوَى بَكْرُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ اَلْجَعْفَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: «اَلْخَيْلُ عَلَى كُلِّ مَنْخِرٍ مِنْهَا شَيْطَانٌ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يُلْجِمَهَا فَلْيُسَمِّ ».
Bakr ibn Salih narrated from Sulaiman ibn Ja‘far al-Ja‘fari, from Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام, who said: "I heard him say: 'Every horse has a devil on its nostrils. So, when any of you wishes to bridle it, let them say Bismillah (In the name of Allah سبحانه وتعالى).'"
