It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The best horse is the one that is completely black, with a white mark on its forehead the size of a dirham, a white nose, and three white legs, with only the right foreleg being like the rest of the body. If such a horse cannot be found in black, then the best horse is the one that is chestnut in color, with the same description.
