Hadith 4676
أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا إِِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَرْعَرَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ أَيُّوبَ ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ، أَوْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " خَيْرُ الْخَيْلِ الأَدْهَمُ الأَقْرَحُ الأَرْثَمُ الْمُحَجَّلُ ثَلاثًا طَلْقُ الْيَدِ الْيُمْنَى " . قَالَ يَزِيدُ : فَإِِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَدْهَمَ ، فَكُمَيْتٌ عَلَى هَذِهِ الشِّيَةِ . قَالَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ : الشَّكُّ فِي هَذَا الْخَبَرِ مِنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ ، وَالْخَبَرُ مَشْهُورٌ لِعُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ مِنْ حَدِيثِ مُوسَى بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ .
Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him)—the narrator is in doubt, perhaps—Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The best horse is the black one which has a white mark on its forehead and nose, and also has a white mark on its legs, and keeps its right foreleg unshod." The narrator named Yazid says: If there is no horse of this kind, then the "kumait" horse possessing these qualities is better. (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) In this narration, the doubt is from the narrator Yazid bin Abu Habib. This narration is famous as being transmitted from Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him), which Musa bin Ali has narrated from his father.
