"During one of the holy battles I was offering (prayer) and the reins of my animal were in my hands and the animal was struggling and I was following the animal. [A man (from the Khawârij) asked me about it. And when I (Barza) finished my Salât (prayer)] I said: " No doubt, I participated with Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) in six or seven or eight holy battles and saw his leniency, and no doubt, I would rather retain my animal than let it return to its stable, as it would cause me much trouble." [2:302-O.B.]
