Hadith 5919
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ فَيْرُوزَ ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ ، أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ الأَضَاحِيَّ فَقَالَ : أَشَارَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِهِ وَيَدِي أَقْصَرُ مِنْ يَدِهِ فَقَالَ : " أَرْبَعٌ لا يُضَحَّى بِهِنَّ : الْعَوْرَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ عَوَرُهَا ، وَالْمَرِيضَةُ الْبَيِّنُ مَرَضُهَا ، وَالْعَرْجَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ ظَلَعُهَا ، وَالْعَجْفَاءُ الَّتِي لا تُنْقِي " ، فَقَالُوا لِلْبَرَاءِ : فَإِنَّمَا نَكْرَهُ النَّقْصَ فِي السِّنِّ ، وَالأُذُنِ ، وَالذَّنَبِ ، قَالَ : فَاكْرَهُوا مَا شِئْتُمْ ! وَلا تُحَرِّمُوا عَلَى النَّاسِ .
It is narrated about Sayyiduna Bara’ bin ‘Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that while mentioning sacrifice, he stated that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured with his blessed hand—my hand is smaller compared to the blessed hand of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Four types of animals cannot be sacrificed: a one-eyed animal whose defect is obvious, a sick animal whose sickness is apparent, a lame animal whose lameness is evident, and an extremely weak animal that has no marrow in its body. People asked Sayyiduna Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him): We also consider it undesirable to sacrifice an animal that has a defect in its teeth, ear, or tail. Sayyiduna Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: You may consider whatever you wish as undesirable, but do not declare it unlawful for the people.
Hadith 5920
أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ الْجُمَحِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ ، عَنْ حُجَيَّةَ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ، قَالَ : " أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نَسْتَشْرِفَ الْعَيْنَ وَالأُذُنَ " .
Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) commanded us to examine the eyes and ears (of the sacrificial animals).
