English translation

4382. 'Alī said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ forbade us from sacrificing an animal with a broken horn." I (the narrator) mentioned that to Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab and he said: "Yes, unless half or more of the horn is missing." (Hasan)

Arabic text

4377 - أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، عَنْ سُفَيَانَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ جُرَيِّ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا يَقُولُ: «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُضَحَّى بِأَعْضَبِ الْقَرْنِ»، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِسَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ، إِلَّا عَضَبَ النِّصْفِ، وَأَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ»

Commentary

The Arabic term used in the text of the report is A'adab. Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab has offered the explanation of this very expression. He states that an animal whose horn is slightly broken is not called A'adab. Rather if half or more than half part of the horn is broken, then sacrificing such an animal is forbidden. In other words, the position of the horns is not like that of the ears. In them, a slight defect is excused.
