(Explanation that sacrificing a horned ram with prominent horns is recommended)
Hadith 1453
عَن أنس قَالَ: ضَحَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِكَبْشَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ أَقْرَنَيْنِ ذَبَحَهُمَا بِيَدِهِ وَسَمَّى وَكبر قَالَ: رَأَيْته وضاعا قَدَمَهُ عَلَى صِفَاحِهِمَا وَيَقُولُ: «بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ أكبر»
Anas said that God’s Messenger sacrificed with his own hand two horned rams which were white with black markings, mentioned God’s name and said, "God is most great.” He added:I saw him placing his foot on their sides and saying, "In the name of God. God is most great.” (Bukhari and Muslim.)
