حَدَّثَنَا
عَلِيُّ بْنُ خَشْرَمٍ ، قَالَ : أنا
عِيسَى ، عَنْ
شُعْبَةَ ، عَنْ
سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مَوْلَى بَنِي أَسَدٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
عُبَيْدَ بْنَ فَيْرُوزَ رَجُلا مِنْ بَنِي شَيْبَانَ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ
الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا مَا ذَكَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ الأَضَاحِي ، أَوْ مَاذَا نَهَى عَنْهُ ؟ ، قَالَ : قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَرْبَعٌ لا تُجْزِئُ ، وَيَدِي أَقْصَرُ مِنْ يَدِهِ : الْعَوْرَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ عَوَرُهَا ، وَالْعَرْجَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ ضَلَعُهَا ، وَالْمَرِيضَةُ الْبَيِّنُ مَرَضُهَا ، وَالْكَسِيرُ الَّتِي لا تُنْقِي ، قُلْتُ : فَإِنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِي السِّنِّ نَقْصٌ أَوْ فِي الْقَرْنِ أَوْ فِي الأُذُنِ نَقْصٌ ، قَالَ : فَمَا كَرِهْتَ فَدَعْهُ وَلا تُحَرِّمْهُ عَلَى أحَدٍ " .
Ubaid bin Firoz (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I asked Sayyiduna Bara bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with both of them): Which sacrificial animal did the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) dislike? Or which kind of sacrifice did he forbid? He replied: My hand is smaller than the hand of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Four types of animals are not sufficient: the one-eyed animal whose defect is obvious; the lame animal whose lameness is completely evident; the sick animal whose sickness is apparent; the emaciated animal whose bones have no marrow. I said: I also dislike defects in the teeth, horns, and ears. So he (Sayyiduna Bara bin Azib, may Allah be pleased with both of them) said: Leave what you dislike, but do not declare it forbidden for anyone.

الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " لا يَذْبَحَنَّ أَحَدٌ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ ، قَالَ : فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ خَالِي أَبُو بُرْدَةَ بْنُ نِيَارٍ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، هَذَا يَوْمٌ اللَّحْمُ فِيهِ كَثِيرٌ ، وَإِنِّي ذَبَحْتُ نَسِيكَتِي لِيَأْكُلَ مِنْهَا أَهْلِي وَجِيرَانِي ، وَعِنْدِي عَنَاقٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ شَاتَيْ لَحْمٍ ، أَفَأَذْبَحُهَا ؟ ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، وَلا تُجْزِئُ جَذَعَةٌ عَنْ أحَدٍ بَعْدَكَ ، وَهِيَ خَيْرُ نَسِيكَتَيْكَ " .
Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: No one should slaughter an animal (for sacrifice) before the (Eid) prayer. Sayyiduna Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with both of them) says: My uncle Abu Burdah bin Niyar stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah! On this day there is a lot of meat, I have already slaughtered my sacrifice so that my neighbors and family may eat from it. I have a one-year-old goat, which is better than two goats with more meat. Should I slaughter it (as a sacrifice)? He said: Yes! But after you, it will not suffice for anyone, and it is better for you than two sacrifices.
Hadith 909
حَدَّثَنَا
عَلِيُّ بْنُ خَشْرَمٍ ، قَالَ : أنا

قَتَادَةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، يَقُولُ : فَقُلْتُ : أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ ؟ فَقَالَ : نَعَمْ ، " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُضَحِّي بِكَبْشَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ أَقْرَنَيْنِ ، وَيُسَمِّي وَيُكَبِّرُ ، وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُمَا يَذْبَحُهُمَا بِيَدِهِ وَاضِعًا عَلَى صِفَاحِهِمَا قَدَمَهُ " .
Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I heard Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrate, so I asked him: Did you hear this yourself (from the Prophet ﷺ)? He replied: Yes! The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to sacrifice two horned, black and white rams, and he would say “Bismillah, Allahu Akbar.” I saw that he was slaughtering them with his blessed hand and had his blessed foot placed upon them.
