1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from more than one narrator from Aban from Zurarah from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.), he said
"The cavalry horses used to be wild in the Arab countries, so Ibrahim (a.s.) and Isma'il (a.s.) ascended upon mount Jiyad, then they both shouted: ‘Do not be loose, do not be loose!’" He said: "So there did not remain a horse except that it gave its hand (front leg) to both of them, and enabled its forelock (to be touched by them both)."
1- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
إِنَّ الْخَيْلَ كَانَتْ وُحُوشاً فِي بِلادِ الْعَرَبِ فَصَعِدَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) عَلَى جَبَلِ جِيَادٍ ثُمَّ صَاحَا أَلا هَلا أَلا هَلْ قَالَ فَمَا بَقِيَ فَرَسٌ إِلا أَعْطَاهُمَا بِيَدِهِ وَأَمْكَنَ مِنْ نَاصِيَتِهِ.
