حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ التَّيْمِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ، أَنَّهُ حَمَلَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ غَمْرٌ أَوْ غَمْرَةٌ فَرَأَى مُهْرًا أَوْ مُهْرَةً مِنْ أَفْلاَئِهَا يُبَاعُ يُنْسَبُ إِلَى فَرَسِهِ فَنَهَى عَنْهَا .

Yahya ibn Hakim narrated to us: Yazid ibn Harun narrated to us: Sulayman al-Taymi narrated to us, from Abu Uthman al-Nahdi, from Abdullah ibn Amir, from al-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam, that he provided someone with a horse called Ghamr—or Ghamrah. He later saw a colt—or filly—from its offspring being sold and attributed to his horse, so he forbade its purchase.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic itself gives alternatives in the horse name (Ghamr or Ghamrah) and in the foal (male or female); both are preserved. The verb describes providing someone with a horse, and the closing prohibition is translated in light of the sale context.
