2789. It was narrated from Abu Qatâdah Al-Ansâri that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "The best of horses are those that are deep black, with a blaze on the forehead, white marks on the legs and white nose and upper lip, and with no whiteness on the right foreleg. If not deep-black, then reddish-brown, with these markings." (Hasan)
2789 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ أَيُّوبَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ عُلَيِّ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «خَيْرُ الْخَيْلِ الْأَدْهَمُ، الْأَقْرَحُ، الْمُحَجَّلُ، الْأَرْثَمُ طَلْقُ الْيَدِ الْيُمْنَى، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَدْهَمَ فَكُمَيْتٌ عَلَى هَذِهِ الشِّيَةِ»

A Mujâhid should gain the knowledge about the animals that are used in Jihâd; for instance which one is beneficial and which one is not so. Likewise, the knowledge about the different types of cars and weapons, their advantages and disadvantages should be obtained to get the quality material that facilitates the matters of Jihâd and is useful for that purpose, and to avoid those that are worthless.
