" عَنْ عَلِىِّ قالَ: قال رسُولُ الله ﷺ لَمَّا أَرَادَ الله أَنْ يَخْلُقَ الخَيْلَ قَالَ لِريح الْجَنُوبِ: إِنِّى خَالِقٌ مِنْكِ خَلْقًا أَجْعَلُهُ عِزّا لأَوْلِيائِى وَمَذَلَّةً لأَعْدَائِى، وَجَمَالًا لأَهْلِ طاعَتِى، فَقَالت الرِّيحُ: اخْلُقْ، فَقَبَضَ مِنْهَا قَبْضَةً خَلَقَ فَرَسًا، فَقَالَ: خَلَقْتُكَ فَرَسًا وَجَعَلْتُكَ عَرَبِيّا، وَجَعَلْتُ الْخَيْرَ مَعْقُودًا بِنَاصِيَتِكَ، وَالْغَنَائِمَ مُحْتازَةً عَلَى ظَهْرِكَ، وَجَعَلتُكَ تَطِيرُ بِلاَ جَنَاحٍ، فأَنْتَ للطَّلَب وَأَنْتَ للهَرَبِ، وسأَجْعَلُ عَلَى ظَهْرِكَ رجالًا يُسَبِّحونِى وَيَحْمَدونِى، ويهلِّلُونِى، وَيُكَبَّرونى، فَلما سَمِعَتِ الْملائِكَةُ الصِّفَةَ وخَلْقَ الفرسِ قالَتِ الْمَلاَئِكةُ: يا رب نحن ملائِكَتُكَ نُسبِّحك ونَحْمَدُكَ ونُهَلِّلُكَ فَمَاذا لنا؟ فخَلَقَ الله لها خَيْلًا بُلْقًا أَعْنَاقُها كأَعْناقِ البُخْتِ يَمُدُّ بِها مَنْ يَشَاءُ مِنْ أَنْبِيائِهِ ورُسُلِهِ، وَأَرْسَلَ الْفَرَسَ في الأرض، فَلمَّا اسْتَوَتْ قَدَماهُ عَلَى الأرضِ مَسَحَ الرحمنُ بيدِهِ عَلَى عَرْفِ ظَهْرِهِ، قالَ: أُذِلُّ بِصَهيلِكَ الْمُشْركينَ، أَمْلأُ مِنْهُ آذَانَهُمْ، وأُذِلُّ أَعْناقَهُمْ، وَأُرْعِبُ بِهِ قُلُوبَهُمْ، فَلما عَرَضَ الله عَلَى آدمَ مِنْ كلِّ شىْءٍ مَا خَلَقَ قالَ لَهُ: اخْتَرْ مِنْ خَلْقِى ما شِئْتَ، فاختارَ الفَرَسَ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: اخْتَرتَ عِزَّكَ وعِزَّ وَلَدِكَ خُلْدًا مَا خَلَدُوا وبَاقِيًا ما بَقُوا، يُلَقَّحُ فَيُنْتجُ مِنْهُ أَوْلاَدٌ أَبَدَ الآبِدينَ، وَدَهُرَ الدَّاهِرِينَ، بَرَكتِى عَلَيْكَ وَعَليهِمْ، ما خَلَقْتُ خَلقًا أَحَبَّ إِلَىَّ مِنْكَ ".

"It is narrated from 'Ali who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: When Allah wished to create the horse, He said to the south wind: 'I am creating from you a creature that I will make a might for My friends, a humiliation for My enemies, and a beauty for the people of My obedience.' The wind said: 'Create.' So He took a handful from it and created a horse. He said: 'I have created you a horse and made you Arab, and I have made goodness bound to your forelock, and spoils gathered upon your back, and I have made you fly without wings. You are for pursuit and you are for flight. And I will place upon your back men who will glorify Me, praise Me, declare My oneness, and magnify Me.' When the angels heard the description and the creation of the horse, they said: 'O Lord, we are Your angels, we glorify You, praise You, and declare Your oneness. So what is for us?' Then Allah created for them horses with white markings, their necks like the necks of Bactrian camels, by which He extends whom He wills of His prophets and messengers. He sent the horse onto the earth, and when its feet were firmly on the earth, the Most Merciful passed His hand over the mane of its back and said: 'I humble the polytheists with your neighing, I fill their ears with it, I humble their necks, and I strike terror into their hearts with it.' When Allah presented to Adam all that He had created, He said to him: 'Choose from My creation whatever you wish.' So he chose the horse. It was said to him: 'You have chosen your might and the might of your offspring. It shall endure as long as they endure, and remain as long as they remain. It shall be mated and bring forth offspring forever and ever, and throughout the ages. My blessing upon you and upon them. I have not created a creature more beloved to Me than you.'"
