Note 1
(1) The statement: "No urging and no spare mount": In (An-Nihayah): Urging in racing is when a man follows his horse with another man who shouts and urges it to run faster. A spare mount in racing is when a rider keeps a horse beside the one he races, so if the ridden one tires, he switches to the spare. As stated in (Al-Mirqat).

(١)قوله: لا جلب ولا جنب: وفي (النهاية): الجلب في السباق أن يتبع الرجل فرسه رجلً فيزجره ويصيح حثًّا له على الجري، والجنب في السباق أن يجنب فروسا إلى فرسه الذي سابق عليه، فإذا فتر المركوب تحول إلى المجنوب. كذا في (المرقاة).
