A Marfu' narration (from the Prophet ﷺ), saying: "A crippled animal whose limp is obvious is not to be slaughtered as sacrifice, nor an animal with a bad eye whose blindness is obvious, nor a sick animal whose sickness is obvious, nor an emaciated animal that has no marrow (in its bones)." – Sound Chain

أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ فَيْرُوزَ عَنْ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ

سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا يُتَّقَى مِنَ الضَّحَايَا؟ قَالَ «الْعَوْرَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ عَوَرُهَا وَالْعَرْجَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ ظَلْعُهَا وَالْمَرِيضَةُ الْبَيِّنُ مَرَضُهَا وَالْعَجْفَاءُ الَّتِي لَا تُنْقِي» – إسناده صحيح

“I heard ‘Ubaid bin Fairuz say: ‘I said to Bara’ bin ‘Azib: “Tell us of the sacrificial animals that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ disliked or forbade.” He said: “Allah’s Messenger ﷺ said like this with his hand. And my hand is shorter than his hand:* ‘There are four that will not be accepted as sacrifices: The one-eyed animal that is obviously blind in one eye; the sick animal that is obviously sick; the lame animal with an obvious limp; and the animal that is so emaciated that it is as if there is no marrow in its bones.’” He said:** “And I dislike that the animal should have some fault in its ears.” He said: “What you dislike, forget about it and do not make it forbidden to anyone.” – Sound Chain

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ فَيْرُوزَ قَالَ

سَأَلْتُ الْبَرَاءَ عَمَّا نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْأَضَاحِيِّ فَقَالَ أَرْبَعٌ لَا يُجْزِئْنَ الْعَوْرَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ عَوَرُهَا وَالْعَرْجَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ ظَلْعُهَا وَالْمَرِيضَةُ الْبَيِّنُ مَرَضُهَا وَالْكَسِيرُ الَّتِي لَا تُنْقِي قَالَ قُلْتُ لِلْبَرَاءِ فَإِنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِي السِّنِّ نَقْصٌ وَفِي الْأُذُنِ نَقْصٌ وَفِي الْقَرْنِ نَقْصٌ قَالَ فَمَا كَرِهْتَ فَدَعْهُ وَلَا تُحَرِّمْهُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ – إسناده صحيح

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حُجَيَّةَ بْنَ عَدِيٍّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا وَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الْبَقَرَةُ؟ قَالَ عَنْ سَبْعَةٍ قُلْتُ الْقَرْنُ؟ قَالَ لَا يَضُرُّكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ الْعَرَجُ؟ قَالَ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ الْمَنْسَكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ
