[Machine] I went with Abu Saad Al-Khair to buy sacrifices, and he pointed to a sheep that had meat that was neither too high nor too low. He said, "Buy this one as it resembles the sheep of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ."
خَرَجْتُ مَعَ أَبِي سَعْدِ الْخَيْرِ إِلَى شِرَاءِ الضَّحَايَا فَأَشَارَ إِلَى كَبْشٍ لَهُ لَحْمٌ لَيْسَ بِالْمُرْتَفِعِ وَلَا الْمُتَّضِعِ قَالَ «اشْتَرِ هَذَا فَإِنَّهُ يُشْبِهُ كَبْشَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ»
“I went out with Abu Sa’eed Az- Zuraqi, the Companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, to buy animals or 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 them, as it seems to resemble the ram of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.’”
خَرَجْنَا مَعَ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الزُّرَقِيِّ صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى شِرَاءِ الضَّحَايَا قَالَ يُونُسُ فَأَشَارَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ إِلَى كَبْشٍ أَدْغَمَ لَيْسَ بِالْمُرْتَفِعِ وَلاَ الْمُتَّضِعِ فِي جِسْمِهِ فَقَالَ لِي اشْتَرِ لِي هَذَا كَأَنَّهُ شَبَّهَهُ بِكَبْشِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
