A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from more than one narrator from Aban from Zurarah from Abu âAbdillah (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: âDo not be loose, do not be loose!â" 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)."
