2544. (Another chain) from Muḥammad bin Muḥājir Al-Anṣārī (who said): “‘Aqīl bin Shābīb narrated to us, from Abū Wahb, who said: ‘The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “You should seek out red (Ashqar) horses with a white mark on the face and white feet.” So he mentioned similarly. Muḥammad — meaning Ibn Muḥājir said: “And I asked him: ‘Why are the Ashqar more superior?’ He replied: ‘Because the Prophet ﷺ sent an expedition, and the one who first brought the news of victory was the rider on an Ashqar horse.’” (Da’if)

Arabic text

2544 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ الطَّائِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُهَاجِرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَقِيلُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَهْبٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «عَلَيْكُمْ بِكُلِّ أَشْقَرَ أَغَرَّ مُحَجَّلٍ، أَوْ كُمَيْتٍ أَغَرَّ» فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ. قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُهَاجِرٍ: وَسَأَلْتُهُ لِمَ فُضِّلَ الْأَشْقَرُ؟ قَالَ: «لِأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ سَرِيَّةً، فَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ جَاءَ بِالْفَتْحِ صَاحِبُ أَشْقَرَ»
