Hadith 18510

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، أَخْبَرَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عُبَيْدَ بْنَ فَيْرُوزَ مَوْلَى بَنِي شَيْبَانَ ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ الْبَرَاءَ عَنِ الْأَضَاحِيِّ ، مَا نَهَى عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَا كَرِهَ ، فَقَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَوْ قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَيَدِي أَقْصَرُ مِنْ يَدِهِ ، فَقَالَ : " أَرْبَعٌ لَا تُجْزِئُ : الْعَوْرَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ عَوَرُهَا ، وَالْمَرِيضَةُ الْبَيِّنُ مَرَضُهَا ، وَالْعَرْجَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ ظَلْعُهَا ، وَالْكَسِيرُ الَّتِي لَا تُنْقِي " . قَالَ : قُلْتُ : فَإِنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِي الْقَرْنِ نَقْصٌ أَوْ قَالَ : فِي الْأُذُنِ نَقْصٌ ، أَوْ فِي السِّنِّ نَقْصٌ . قَالَ : " مَا كَرِهْتَ فَدَعْهُ ، وَلَا تُحَرِّمْهُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ " .
Ubaid bin Firoz (may Allah have mercy on him) asked Hazrat Bara (may Allah be pleased with him) which kinds of animals the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade for sacrifice and which he considered disliked? He replied that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Four kinds of animals are not sufficient for sacrifice: the one-eyed animal whose defect is obvious, the sick animal whose sickness is obvious, the lame animal whose lameness is obvious, and the animal whose bone is broken and its marrow has come out. Ubaid said: I consider it disliked to sacrifice an animal with a defect in its horn, ear, or tooth. He replied: Leave what you consider disliked, but do not declare it forbidden for anyone else.
