4375. 'Ubaid bin Fairûz said: "I said to Al-Barâ' bin 'Âzib: "Tell me of the sacrificial animals that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ disliked or forbade. He said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ gestured like this with his hand, and my hands are shorter than the hand of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, (and he said): "There are four that will not do as sacrifices: The animal that clearly has one bad 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 horns or ears." He said: "What you dislike, forget about it, and do not make it forbidden to anyone." (Sahih)

4370 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ، وَيَحْيَى، وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، وَأَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، قَالُوا: أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُبَيْدَ بْنَ فَيْرُوزَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِلْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ: حَدِّثْنِي مَا كَرِهَ أَوْ نَهَى عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ الْأَضَاحِيِّ، قَالَ: فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ هَكَذَا بِيَدِهِ، وَيَدِي أَقْصَرُ مِنْ يَدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَرْبَعَةٌ لَا يُجْزِينَ فِي الْأَضَاحِيِّ: الْعَوْرَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ عَوَرُهَا، وَالْمَرِيضَةُ الْبَيِّنُ مَرَضُهَا، وَالْعَرْجَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ ظَلْعُهَا، وَالْكَسِيرَةُ الَّتِي لَا تُنْقِي "، قَالَ: فَإِنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ نَقْصٌ فِي الْقَرْنِ، وَالْأُذُنِ، قَالَ: «فَمَا كَرِهْتَ مِنْهُ فَدَعْهُ، وَلَا تُحَرِّمْهُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ»

Commentary

Here we learn that a slight limp which is not discernible without investigating or if it is felt when the camel runs, then it is not a defect for a sacrifice.
