Question:
What is the meaning of his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): “You have taken the tails of the cows and been content with the crops”?
Answer:
You know this; we have explained it to you. They abandoned jihad and replaced the horses used in jihad with cows used for farming, which they use to plow. This is humiliation. Instead of taking the tails of the horses for jihad, they take the tails of the cows. And what is the difference between cows and horses? Yes.
