(Another chain) from the Prophet ﷺ with similar meaning.
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahīh, we do not know of it except through the narration of ‘Ubaid bin Fairūz from Al-Barā’. This Hadīth is acted upon according to people of knowledge.

Commentary
Four defects have been mentioned in this narration making any animal that has any of these defects unlawful for sacrifice. All the people of knowledge agree on this point. Actually the sacrifice is a demonstration of love and thanks to Allāh from His slave, that He made the animal under his control, therefore, a healthy and admirable animal should be selected for sacrifice.
