حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى الرَّازِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْقُوبَ الثَّقَفِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ رَجُلٌ مِنْ ثَقِيفٍ مَوْلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ ، قَالَ : بَعَثَنِي مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ إِلَى الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ رَايَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَا كَانَتْ ، فَقَالَ : كَانَتْ سَوْدَاءَ مُرَبَّعَةً مِنْ نَمِرَةٍ .
