Please clerify this statement:
condemning at any cost. tell me if the Holy Prophet PBUH didnt make lean on racing camels?
Prophet raced horses and camels for fun and awarded small prizes to winners.
Aga Khan breeds and runs horses to race on racecourses. Rich and poor people place bets on them. Return on bets is favorable to Track owners. Lot of people gets ruined on this addictive gambling. Gambling is Haraam in Islam. To aid and abate in gambling is Haraam also (Period).
IF you can read AND process in your Petty mind.......

it
is gambling.

*****Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 8, Number 412:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
Allah's Apostle ordered for a horse race; the trained horses were to run
from
a place called Al-Hafya' to Thaniyat Al-Wada' and the horses which were not
trained were to run from Al-Thaniya to the Masjid (mosque of) Bani Zuraiq.
The sub narrator added: Ibn Umar was one of those who took part in the race.
*****Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 52, Number 120:
Narrated ('Abdullah) bin 'Umar:
The Prophet arranged for a horse race amongst the horses that had been made
lean to take place between Al-Hafya'' and Thaniyat Al-Wada' (i.e. names of
two places) and the horses which had not been made lean from Ath-Thaniyat to
the mosque of Bani Zuraiq.
I was also amongst those who took part in that horse race. Sufyan, a
sub-narrator, said, "The distance between Al-Hafya and Thaniya Al-Wada' is
five or six miles; and between Thaniya and the mosque of Bani Zuraiq is one
mile."
*****Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 52, Number 121:

was up to Thaniyat-al-Wada'. I asked Musa, 'What was the distance between
the
two places?' Musa replied, 'Six or seven miles. He arranged a race of the
horses which had not been made lean sending them from Thaniyat-al-Wada', and
their limit was up to the mosque of Bani Zuraiq.'
I asked, 'What was the distance between those two places?' He replied 'One
mile or so.' Ibn 'Umar was amongst those who participated in that horse
race."
*****Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 92, Number 436:
Narrated Nafi:
Abdullah said, "The Prophet arranged for a horse race, and the prepared
horses were given less food for a few days before the race to win the race,
and were allowed to run from Al-Hafya to Thaniyat-al-Wada', and the
unprepared horses were allowed to run between Thaniyat-al-Wada' and the
mosque of Bani Zuraiq," 'Abdullah was one of those who participated in the
race.'
*****Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 56, Number 839:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "A horse may be kept for one of three purposes: for a man
it may be a source of reward; for another it may be a means of living; and
for a third it may be a burden (a source of committing sins). As for the one
for whom it is a source of reward, he is the one who keeps his horse for the
sake of Jihad in Allah's Cause; he ties it with a long rope on a pasture or
in a garden. So whatever its rope allows it to eat, will be regarded as good
rewardable deeds (for its owner). And if it breaks off its rope and jumps
over one or two hillocks, even its dung will be considered amongst his good
deeds. And if it passes by a river and drinks water from it, that will be
considered as good deeds for his benefit) even if he has had no intention of
watering it.
A horse is a shelter for the one who keeps it so that he may earn his living
honestly and takes it as a refuge to keep him from following illegal ways
(of
gaining money), and does not forget the rights of Allah (i.e. paying the
Zakat and allowing others to use it for Allah's Sake). But a horse is a
burden (and a source of committing sins for him who keeps it out of pride
and
pretense and with the intention of harming the Muslims."
The Prophet was asked about donkeys. He replied, "Nothing has been revealed
to be concerning them except this comprehensive Verse (which covers
everything) :--'Then whosoever has done good equal to the weight of an atom
(or a small ant), Shall see it (its reward) And whosoever has done evil
equal
to the weight of an atom (or a small ) ant), Shall see it (Its punishment)."
(99.7-8)
*****Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 40, Number 559:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "Keeping horses may be a source of reward to some
(man), a shelter to another (i.e. means of earning one's living), or a
burden
to a third. He to whom the horse will be a source of reward is the one who
keeps it in Allah's Cause (prepare it for holy battles) and ties it by a
long
rope in a pasture (or a garden). He will get a reward equal to what its long
rope allows it to eat in the pasture or the garden, and if that horse
breaks its rope and crosses one or two hills, then all its foot-steps and
its
dung will be counted as good deeds for its owner; and if it passes by a
river and drinks from it, then that will also be regarded as a good deed for
its owner even if he has had no intention of watering it then.
Horses are a shelter from poverty to the second person who keeps horses for
earning his living so as not to ask others, and at the same time he gives
Allah's right (i.e. Zakat, from the wealth he earns through using them in
trading etc.,) and does not overburden them. He who keeps horses just out of
pride and for showing off and as a means of harming the Muslims, his horses
will be a source of sins to him." When Allah's Apostle was asked about
donkeys, he replied, "Nothing particular was revealed to me regarding
donkeys."
*****Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 56, Number 837:
Narrated Ibn Umar:
Allah's Apostle said, "There is always goodness in horses till the Day of
Resurrection. "
*****Muslim, Book 19, Number 4614:
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah:
"I saw that the Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) was twisting the
forelock of a horse with his fingers and was saying: (A great) benefit, i.e.
reward (for rearing them for Jihad) and spoils of war, has been tied to the
forelocks of horses until the Day of Judgment."
