حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصٌ ، عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُضَحِّي بِكَبْشٍ أَقْرَنَ فَحِيلٍ يَنْظُرُ فِي سَوَادٍ ، وَيَأْكُلُ فِي سَوَادٍ ، وَيَمْشِي فِي سَوَادٍ .
Narrated Abu Saeed al-Khudri: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to sacrifice a choice, horned ram with black round the eyes, the mouth and the feet.
