أَخْبَرَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُجَاعُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي زِيَادُ بْنُ خَيْثَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَقَ عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا يُضَحَّی بِمُقَابَلَةٍ وَلَا مُدَابَرَةٍ وَلَا شَرْقَائَ وَلَا خَرْقَائَ وَلَا عَوْرَائَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4390
It was narrated from ‘Ali bin Ab Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “Do not sacrifice an animal with its ears slit from the front, an animal with its ears slit from the back, an animal with its ears slit lengthwise, an animal with a round hole in its ears, or an animal with one bad eye.” (Hasan)
