Abu Kabshah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I imported some lambs to Madinah Munawwarah, but I suffered a loss there. By chance, I met Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him). I asked him some questions and he said: I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that the lamb is the best animal for sacrifice. According to the narrator, then people took it away.
