4377. It was narrated that ‘Alî, may Allâh be pleased with him, said: “The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ commanded us to examine the eyes and ears (of animals), and not to sacrifice an animal with its ears slit from the front, an animal with its ears slit from the back, a animal with its tail cut, nor an animal with a round hole in its ear.” (Hasan)
4372 - أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ آدَمَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: «أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نَسْتَشْرِفَ الْعَيْنَ، وَالْأُذُنَ، وَأَنْ لَا نُضَحِّيَ بِمُقَابَلَةٍ، وَلَا مُدَابَرَةٍ، وَلَا بَتْرَاءَ، وَلَا خَرْقَاءَ»

The polytheists used to cut the ears of the animals which they sacrificed in the name of their idols. In the matter of an animal whose ear is slit, there remains apprehension that it might have been earmarked for some idol. Therefore, every animal of this sort is forbidden for a sacrifice.
