Muwatta Malik #1050
Jihad
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم رُئِيَ وَهُوَ يَمْسَحُ وَجْهَ فَرَسِهِ بِرِدَائِهِ فَسُئِلَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ
" إِنِّي عُوتِبْتُ اللَّيْلَةَ فِي الْخَيْلِ " .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was seen
wiping the face of his horse with his cloak. He was questioned about
it and said, "I was reproached in the night about horses." i.e. not
taking care of them.
