أَخْبَرَنَا
عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ
إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ
أَبِي إِسْحَاق، عَنْ
شُرَيْحِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ الصَّائِدِيِّ، عَنْ
عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: "أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ
نَسْتَشْرِفَ الْعَيْنَ وَالْأُذُنَ، وَأَنْ لَا نُضَحِّيَ بِمُقَابَلَةٍ وَلَا مُدَابَرَةٍ وَلَا خَرْقَاءَ، وَلَا شَرْقَاءَ، فَالْمُقَابَلَةُ: مَا قُطِعَ طَرَفُ أُذُنِهَا، وَالْمُدَابَرَةُ: مَا قُطِعَ مِنْ جَانِبِ الْأُذُنِ، وَالْخَرْقَاءُ: الْمَثْقُوبَةُ، وَالشَّرْقَاءُ: الْمَشْقُوقَةُ".
Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us to carefully examine the ears and eyes (of the sacrificial animal), meaning that there should be no defect in them, and not to sacrifice an animal that is muqabala, mudabira, kharqa, or sharqa. Muqabala is the animal whose ear has been cut off, mudabira is the one whose ear is partially cut from the side, kharqa is the one whose ear is pierced, and sharqa is the one whose ear is slit. (All these are defects of the ear, and with these defects, the sacrifice is not valid.)
