It is narrated from Abu Qatadah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The best horses are those that are black in color, with a white forehead and upper lip. After them are those horses whose four legs and forehead are white. If the horse is not black, then the best is a reddish, dark, excellent horse with these same qualities."
