Chapter on Horses, Keeping Them, and the First to Ride Them
وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «كَانَتِ اَلْخَيْلُ وُحُوشاً فِي بِلاَدِ اَلْعَرَبِ وَ صَعِدَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَى أَبِي قُبَيْسٍ فَنَادَيَا أَلاَ هَلاَ أَلاَ هَلُمَّ فَمَا بَقِيَ فَرَسٌ إِلاَّ أَعْطَى بِقِيَادِهِ وَ أَمْكَنَ مِنْ نَاصِيَتِهِ ».
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "Horses were once wild in the lands of the Arabs. Ibrahim عليه السلام and Isma‘il عليه السلام ascended Mount Abi Qubays and called out: 'Come! Come forward!' No horse remained except that it came forward, offering its reins and submitting its forelock."
