حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَقَ عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ وَکَانَ رَجُلَ صِدْقٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نَسْتَشْرِفَ الْعَيْنَ وَالْأُذُنَيْنِ وَلَا نُضَحِّي بِعَوْرَائَ وَلَا مُقَابَلَةٍ وَلَا مُدَابَرَةٍ وَلَا خَرْقَائَ وَلَا شَرْقَائَ قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي إِسْحَقَ أَذَکَرَ عَضْبَائَ قَالَ لَا قُلْتُ فَمَا الْمُقَابَلَةُ قَال يُقْطَعُ طَرَفُ الْأُذُنِ قُلْتُ فَمَا الْمُدَابَرَةُ قَالَ يُقْطَعُ مِنْ مُؤَخَّرِ الْأُذُنِ قُلْتُ فَمَا الشَّرْقَائُ قَالَ تُشَقُّ الْأُذُنُ قُلْتُ فَمَا الْخَرْقَائُ قَالَ تُخْرَقُ أُذُنُهَا لِلسِّمَةِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2804
Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ enjoined upon us to pay great attention to the eye and both ears, and not to sacrifice a one-eyed animal, and an animal with a slit which leaves something hanging at the front or back of the ear, or with a lengthwise slit with a perforation in the ear. I asked Abu Ishaq: Did he mention an animal with broken horns and uprooted ears? He said: No. I said: 'What is the Muqabalah ?' He replied: 'It has been cut from the back of its ear. ' I said: 'What about the Sharqa'? He replied: 'The ear has been split. ' I said: 'What about the Kharqa'? He replied: 'A hole is made (in its ears) as a distinguishing mark. '"
