3144. Sulaimān bin 'Abdur-Rahmān said: "I heard 'Ubaid bin Fairuz say: 'I said to Barā' bin 'Azīb: "Tell us of the sacrificial animals that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ disliked or forbade." He said: "Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said like this with his hand. And my hand is shorter than his hand."[1] 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:[2] "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." (Sahih)

3144 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، وَأَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُبَيْدَ بْنَ فَيْرُوزَ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِلْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ: حَدِّثْنِي بِمَا كَرِهَ، أَوْ نَهَى عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ الْأَضَاحِيِّ فَقَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: هَكَذَا بِيَدِهِ، وَيَدِي أَقْصَرُ مِنْ يَدِهِ " أَرْبَعٌ لَا تُجْزِئُ فِي الْأَضَاحِيِّ: الْعَوْرَاءُ، الْبَيِّنُ عَوَرُهَا، وَالْمَرِيضَةُ، الْبَيِّنُ مَرَضُهَا، وَالْعَرْجَاءُ، الْبَيِّنُ ظَلْعُهَا، وَالْكَسِيرَةُ، الَّتِي لَا تُنْقِي " قَالَ: فَإِنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ نَقْصٌ فِي الْأُذُنِ، قَالَ: فَمَا كَرِهْتَ مِنْهُ، فَدَعْهُ، وَلَا تُحَرِّمْهُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ

  1. 1

    [1] See At-Tirmidhi, no. 1498: "He said: The Muqābalah is the one whose ears have been severed, the Mudābarah is the one with the sides of its ears cut off, and the Sharqā' is one with split ears, and the Kharqā' is the one with pierced ears." The explanation is from Abu Ishaq, one of the narrators there, as is clear from the version recorded by Ahmad, no. 851 (1:108). Sindi defined Jad'a' as the one with the cut nose, ear, or lip, but it is more specific for the nose as it is the most common case.

    [2] Meaning: Of the animals bought for sacrifice.

Commentary

a. An insignificant natural defect that cannot be noticed without keen inspection does not prevent from sacrifice. b. Muhammad Fuwâd Abdul-Bâqî said, explaining the Arabic word Kasirah – it is a broken-legged animal that cannot walk. (Footnotes of Sunan Ibn Mâjah). This explanation is similar to the meaning of limp. Nawâb Wahiduz-Zamân Khan interpreted it as "thin" which seems more appropriate. Barâ bin Âzib ؓ was of the opinion that an animal with a slit or perforation in the ear is not an impediment for sacrifice.
