It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that a companion said: O Messenger of Allah! I want to buy a horse, so which horse should I buy? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Buy a black horse which has whiteness on its nose and upper lip, and also whiteness on its legs, except that there should not be whiteness only on the right foreleg, or buy a black horse with a reddish tinge and these markings. You will gain spoils (of war) and, by Allah’s permission, you will remain safe."
