Yunus bin Maisarah bin Halbas said: "I went out with Abu Sa'eed Az-Zuraqi, the Companion of the Messenger of Allah, to buy animals for 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 me, as it seems to resemble the ram of the Messenger of Allah.'''
