وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ، ثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ، قَالَ:
جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: هَلْ سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي الْخَيْلِ شَيْئًا ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، سَمِعْتُهُ ﷺ يَقُولُ: الْخَيْلُ مَعْقُودٌ فِي نَوَاصِيهَا الْخَيْرُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
