ALLAH said to the South Wind: "Become Solid flesh, for I will make a new creature of thee." Then ALLAH took a handful of the South Wind and he breathed thereon creating the horse and saying, "Thy name shall be ARABIAN and virtue bound into the hair of thy forelock, and plunder on thy back. I have preferred thee above all beasts of burden, in as much as I have made thy Master thy Friend. I have given thee the power of Flight without Wings, be it in onslaught or retreat. I will set my men on thy back, that they shall honor and praise me and sing Hallelujah to my name." A Bedouin Legend
