3129. Yunus bin Maisarah bin Halbas said: "I went out with Abu Sa'eed Az-Zuraqi, the Companion of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, to buy animals for sacrifice." Yunus said: "Abu Sa'eed pointed to a ram that had some blackness around its ears and jaw, and was neither too big nor too small, and said to me: 'Buy this one for me, as it seems to resemble the ram of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.'" (Hasan)
3129 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ بْنِ حَلْبَسٍ، قَالَ: خَرَجْتُ مَعَ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الزُّرَقِيِّ، صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى شِرَاءِ الضَّحَايَا، قَالَ يُونُسُ: فَأَشَارَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ إِلَى كَبْشٍ أَدْغَمَ، لَيْسَ بِالْمُرْتَفِعِ، وَلَا الْمُتَّضِعِ فِي جِسْمِهِ، فَقَالَ لِي: «اشْتَرِ لِي هَذَا، كَأَنَّهُ شَبَّهَهُ، بِكَبْشِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ»
