حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ الطَّائِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُهَاجِرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَقِيلُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي وَهْبٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " عَلَيْكُمْ بِكُلِّ أَشْقَرَ أَغَرَّ مُحَجَّلٍ أَوْ كُمَيْتٍ أَغَرَّ " ، فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُهَاجِرٍ سَأَلْتُهُ : لِمَ فُضِّلَ الْأَشْقَرُ ؟ قَالَ : لِأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ سَرِيَّةً فَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ جَاءَ بِالْفَتْحِ صَاحِبُ أَشْقَرَ .
Narrated Abu Wahb: The Prophet ﷺ said: Keep to every sorrel horse with a white blaze and white on the legs, or dark bay with a white blaze. He then mentioned something similar. Muhammad ibn al-Muhajir said: I asked him: Why was a sorrel horse preferred? He replied: Because the Prophet ﷺ had sent a contingent, and the man who first brought the news of victory was the rider of a sorrel horse.
