Question:
What is it... in his saying:?
Answer:
It means the horse, meaning it was good. The people used to say about it that it was not good; it was slow. They accused the horse of being a "sabiq" (a fast horse), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This means that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) rode it, Allah placed a blessing in it, and thereafter it became good, fast, and a leader.
