[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "He mentioned its meaning, and Muhammad said, 'I do not know if Al-Kumayt began (with the battle) or Al-Adham.' They asked him, 'Why did he prefer the fair-skinned person?' He replied, 'Because the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a secret expedition, and the first one to bring victory was the companion with fair skin,' the hadith of Al-Muhajir ibn Qunfudh."  

أحمد:١٩٠٣٣ – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُهَاجَرِ حَدَّثَنَا عَقِيلُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَهْبٍ الْكَلَاعِيِّ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ وَلَا أَدْرِي بِالْكُمَيْتِ بَدَأَ أَوْ بِالْأَدْهَمِ قَالَوَسَأَلُوهُ لِمَ فَضَّلَ الْأَشْقَرَ؟ قَالَ لِأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ سَرِيَّةً فَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ جَاءَ بِالْفَتْحِ صَاحِبُ الْأَشْقَرِحَدِيثُ الْمُهَاجِرِ بْنِ قُنْفُذٍ

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.  

أبو داود:٢٥٤٤ – 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
