I went out with Abu Saeed al-Zuraqi, a companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, to purchase sacrificial animals. Abu Saeed pointed to a ram with a darkened muzzle, neither too tall nor too short in build, and said to me, "Buy this one for me," as though he saw in it a resemblance to the ram of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
خرجت مع أبي سعيد الزرقي صاحب رسول الله ﷺ إلى شراء الضحايا، فأشار أبو سعيد إلى كبش أدغم، ليس بالمرتفع، والمنضع في جسمه فقال لي: اشتر لي هذه، كأنه شبهه بكبش رسول الله ﷺ.
Ibn Majah narrated it (3129) through Muhammad bin Shuayb, who said, "Saeed bin Abdul-Aziz informed me," who said, "Yunus bin Maysara bin Halabas narrated to us," and he then mentioned it.Its isnad is hasan because of Muhammad bin Shuayb, who is Ibn Shabur, for he is truthful with a sound written record, and he has been corroborated as will be shown, while the rest of its narrators are trustworthy. Saeed bin Abdul-Aziz is Tanukhi, the Damascene imam, and the companion narrator is Abu Saeed Zarqi Ansari, also called Abu Saad. It is said his name was Umara bin Saeed, and other names have also been suggested.Busiri said in Misbah Zujaja (3/52), "Its isnad is sahih, its narrators are trustworthy."Hakim narrated it (4/228-229) through Hisham bin Ammar, who said, "Walid bin Muslim narrated to us," who said, "Saeed bin Abdul-Aziz narrated to us, from Yunus bin Maysara bin Halabas, from his father," who said, "I went out with Saad Zarqi, who was a companion of the Prophet, to buy the sacrificial animals. He pointed to a ram with a dark head, horned, not the tallest of the rams, and said, 'It is as though it is the ram which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sacrificed.'"Hakim said, "Its isnad is sahih." He thus said "with Saad Zarqi," dropping the kunya particle. As for the addition of "from his father" in the isnad, it is an error.
