1499. Abū Kibāsh narrated: "I brought a Jadha' sheep to Al-Madinah (for sale) but it remained with me. I saw Abū Hurairah and I asked him about it, so he said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saying: "The best male" – or – "female Udhiyah is that from the Jadha' sheep." He said: "So the people took note of that (they became interested in buying)." (Da'if)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Ibn 'Abbās, Umm Bilāl bin Hilāl from her father, Jābir, 'Uqbah bin 'Āmir, and a man from the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ.
[Abū 'Eisā said:] The Ḥadīth of Abū Hurairah is a [Ḥasan] Gharīb Ḥadīth. This has been reported from Abū Hurairah in Mawqūf form.
[Uthmān bin Wāqid is Ibn Muḥammad bin Ziyād bin 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb].
This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others. The Jadha' sheep is acceptable for Udhiyah.

Commentary
The Jadha' sheep is acceptable for sacrifice but the Thaniyyah is better. In the view of most of the people, one year and above is best for the sacrifice, but a healthy lamb of six months is acceptable.
