2790 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ سَلْمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ النَّخَعِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ جَرِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: «كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَكْرَهُ الشِّكَالَ مِنَ الْخَيْلِ»

Commentary
The previous Hadith proves that if the right foreleg is not white but the other three legs are white then it is better. The meaning of this Hadith is the horse whose one leg is not white while the other three legs are white. (Allâh knows best)
