أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ وَيَحْيَی وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ وَأَبُو الْوَلِيدِ قَالُوا أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُبَيْدَ بْنَ فَيْرُوزَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِلْبَرَائِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ حَدِّثْنِي مَا کَرِهَ أَوْ نَهَی عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ الْأَضَاحِيِّ قَالَ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ هَکَذَا بِيَدِهِ وَيَدِي أَقْصَرُ مِنْ يَدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْبَعَةٌ لَا يَجْزِينَ فِي الْأَضَاحِيِّ الْعَوْرَائُ الْبَيِّنُ عَوَرُهَا وَالْمَرِيضَةُ الْبَيِّنُ مَرَضُهَا وَالْعَرْجَائُ الْبَيِّنُ ظَلْعُهَا وَالْکَسِيرَةُ الَّتِي لَا تُنْقِي قَالَ فَإِنِّي أَکْرَهُ أَنْ يَکُونَ نَقْصٌ فِي الْقَرْنِ وَالْأُذُنِ قَالَ فَمَا کَرِهْتَ مِنْهُ فَدَعْهُ وَلَا تُحَرِّمْهُ عَلَی أَحَدٍ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4385
‘Ubaid bin Fairuz said: “I said to Al-Bara’ bin ‘Azib: ‘Tell me of the sacrificial animals that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم disliked or forbade. He said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم gestured like this with his hand, and my hands are shorter than the hand of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, (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).
