Horse creation story from the South Wind from the Nasiri

My quick translation of this creation story from the Nasiri book, which took it from a much earlier account by VIIIth century chronicler Wahab Ibn Munabbih; the translation can be improved, but this is a good start:

From Wahab ibn Munabbih, who said: “I was told that when God Most Glorified and Most High wanted to create the horse, he said to the south wind: I am creating a creature from you, to make it a [source of] strength for my friends, disgrace for my enemies, and beauty (jamal, unsure in this context) for the people of my obedience. So he grasped a fistful of the wind, created a horse out of it, and said: I have called you ‘horse’ and I made you Arab; goodness is tied to your forelocks, spoils are to be won on your back, and extinction (fana, but unsure) is with you wherever you are. I favor you over other creatures, and I made you their master; I made you fly without wings; you are for seeking and you are for escaping; and I will have you carry men who will glorify me, so glorify me with them; [men] who will praise me, so praise me with them; so when the horse neighed, He said: I have [just] blessed you; instil fear in the unbelievers with your neigh; fill their ears, scare their hearts and break their necks with it.”
