Hazrat Ju’aiel Bin Ziyaad (Allaah be pleased with him) narrates:

That in a holy-war, I was with the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam).

The mare on which I was riding it was very weak and thin.

When the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) saw this, that I was left a lot behind, he came and said, what is your condition?

I replied, Yaa Rasoolal Laah, [(Sallal Laahu ‘Alaieka Wa Sallam)] my mare is thin and weak.

Thus, the stick which was in the sacred hand of the Holy Prophet (SallalLaahu‘AlaiehiWaSallam) with it, he hit the mare and said, O Allaah, bestow graciousness for (Ju’aiel) in his [mare].

Hazrat Ju’aiel says, after that she became so fast that I could not hold her reins.

And she would go ahead of everyone.

And so many children were borne from her that I sold them for twelve thousand.
