Zād al-Maʿād - Ibn al-Qayyim - (1/129)

He also had a pair of shears called al-Jāmi‘, a mirror [called al-Mudilla] (1), and a rod of shawhat wood called al-Mawt.”

The Mounts of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace

Among his horses was al-Sakb. It is said that this was the first horse he owned. The Bedouin from whom he bought it for ten ounces had called it al-Daris. It was bay, with a white blaze and white markings on its legs except the right foreleg. It is also said that it was black.

Another was al-Murtajiz, which was grey. This was the horse concerning which Khuzayma ibn Thābit gave testimony (2).

There were also al-Luhayf (3), al-Lizāz, al-Zarib (4), Sabha, and al-Ward. These are the seven on which there is agreement (5). Their names were brought together by Imam Abū ‘Abd Allāh Muhammad ibn Abī Ishāq ibn Jamā‘a

(1) From al-Mu‘jam al-Kabīr and other works. Al-Zabīdī did not explain this name. See Jāmi‘ al-Masā’il (7:131). (2) See Tabaqāt Ibn Sa‘d (1:422). The report is also recorded, without naming the horse, by Abū Dāwūd (3607), al-Nasā’ī (4647), and Ahmad (21883). Its chain of transmission is sound, and al-Hākim (2:17–18) graded it authentic. (3) Sahīh al-Bukhārī (2855) states that some called it “al-Lukhayf.” Another reported reading has a fatha (a) on the lām and a kasra (i) on the undotted hā’, in the non-diminutive form. Other readings have also been reported. See Mashāriq al-Anwār (1:356) and Fath al-Bārī (6:59). (4) All the manuscripts spell it with dād here and in the verse below! (5) Al-Dimyātī states this in his Mukhtasar (p. 179); the author draws on Mukhtasar Ibn Jamā‘a (p. 136).

وكان له مقراض اسمه الجامع، ومرآة [تسمَّى: المدلّة] (١)، وقضيب شَوْحَط يسمى: الموت». فصل في دوابه ﷺ فمن الخيل: السَّكْب. قيل: وهو أول فرس ملَكَه. وكان اسمه عند الأعرابي الذي اشتراه منه بعَشْر أواق: «الضَّرِس». وكان أغرَّ محجَّلًا طَلْقَ اليمين كُمَيتًا. وقيل كان أدهم. والمرتجِز. وكان أشهب، وهو الذي شهد فيه خزيمة بن ثابت (٢). واللُّحَيف (٣)، واللِّزَاز، والظَّرِب (٤)، وسَبْحة، والوَرْد. فهذه سبعة متفق عليها (٥)، جمعها الإمام أبو عبد الله محمد بن أبي إسحاق بن جماعة

(١) من «المعجم الكبير» وغيره. ولم يفسِّرها الزبيدي. وانظر: «جامع المسائل» (٧/ ١٣١). (٢) انظر: «طبقات ابن سعد» (١/ ٤٢٢). وأخرجه دون تسمية الفرس أبو داود (٣٦٠٧) والنسائي (٤٦٤٧) وأحمد (٢١٨٨٣)، وإسناده صحيح، وصححه الحاكم (٢/ ١٧ - ١٨). (٣) في «صحيح البخاري» (٢٨٥٥) أن بعضهم قال: «اللُّخَيف». وقيل بفتح اللام وكسر المهملة مكبَّرًا. وقيل غير ذلك. انظر: «مشارق الأنوار» (١/ ٣٥٦) و «فتح الباري» (٦/ ٥٩).
