Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned a hadith similar to this, but with a small addition: "That we should not sacrifice a one-eyed animal." The narrator says: I asked: What does al-muqabalah mean? He said: An animal one side of whose ear has been cut off. (I asked:) What is al-mudabarah? He said: One whose ear has been cut from the back. I asked: What is al-sharqa'? He said: One whose ear has been slit. I asked: What is al-kharqa'? He said: One whose ear has been pierced with a hole.
