2543. It was reported from Muḥammad bin Muḥājir Al-Anṣārī, (he said): "Aqīl bin Shabīb narrated to me, from Abū Wahb Al-Jushamī, who was a Companion, who said: 'The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "You should seek out Kumair[1] horses with a white mark on the face and white feet, or red (Ashqar) with a white mark on the face and white feet, or black with a white mark on the face and white feet." (Da'if)

2543 - حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الطَّالْقَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُهَاجِرِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي عَقِيلُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَهْبٍ الْجُشَمِيِّ، وَكَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «عَلَيْكُمْ بِكُلِّ كُمَيْتٍ أَغَرَّ مُحَجَّلٍ أَوْ أَشْقَرَ أَغَرَّ مُحَجَّلٍ، أَوْ أَدْهَمَ أَغَرَّ مُحَجَّلٍ»،

Commentary

The noted scholar Aṭ-Ṭībī points out, among other things, the difference in the names of horses on the basis of their colors saying that Ashqar is wherein the black dominates the red, while Kumait is the one that has black hair on its neck and tail.
