حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ الطَّائِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُهَاجِرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَقِيلُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَهْبٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
عَلَيْكُمْ بِكُلِّ أَشْقَرَ أَغَرَّ مُحَجَّلٍ أَوْ كُمَيْتٍ أَغَرَّ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُهَاجِرٍ سَأَلْتُهُ لِمَ فَضَّلَ الأَشْقَرَ قَالَ لأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بَعَثَ سَرِيَّةً فَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ جَاءَ بِالْفَتْحِ صَاحِبُ أَشْقَرَ

The Prophet ﷺ said: Keep to every sorrel horse with a white blaze and white on the legs, or dark bay with a white blaze. He then mentioned something similar. Muhammad ibn al-Muhajir said: I asked him: Why was a sorrel horse preferred? He replied: Because the Prophet ﷺ had sent a contingent, and the man who first brought the news of victory was the rider of a sorrel horse.
