Horse

Beautified for people is the love of that which they desire - of women and sons, heaped-up sums of gold and silver, fine branded horses, and cattle and tilled land. That is the enjoyment of worldly life, but Allāh has with Him the best return [i.e., Paradise].

And [He created] the horses, mules and donkeys for you to ride and [as] adornment. And He creates that which you do not know.

And incite [to senselessness] whoever you can among them with your voice and assault them with your horses and foot soldiers and become a partner in their wealth and their children and promise them." But Satan does not promise them except delusion.

[Mention] when there were exhibited before him in the afternoon the poised [standing] racehorses.

And he said, "Indeed, I gave preference to the love of good [things] over the remembrance of my Lord until it [i.e., the sun] disappeared into the curtain [of darkness]."

[He said], "Return them to me," and set about striking¹ [their] legs and necks.

And what Allāh restored [of property] to His Messenger from them - you did not spur for it [in an expedition] any horses or camels,¹ but Allāh gives His messengers power over whom He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent.

By the racers, panting,¹

And the producers of sparks [when] striking¹

And the chargers at dawn,¹

Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,

Arriving thereby in the center¹ collectively,

Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.

And indeed, he is to that a witness.¹
