حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ بْنِ حَلْبَسٍ قَالَ خَرَجْتُ مَعَ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الزُّرَقِيِّ صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَی شِرَائِ الضَّحَايَا قَالَ يُونُسُ فَأَشَارَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ إِلَی کَبْشٍ أَدْغَمَ لَيْسَ بِالْمُرْتَفِعِ وَلَا الْمُتَّضِعِ فِي جِسْمِهِ فَقَالَ لِي اشْتَرِ لِي هَذَا کَأَنَّهُ شَبَّهَهُ بِکَبْشِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3129
Yunus bin Maisarah bin Halbas said: "I went out with Abu Sa'eed Az-Zuraqi, the Companion of the Messenger of Allah, 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 Allah.'''
