[Machine] I asked Baraa' ibn 'Aazib, "What did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ dislike or prohibit regarding the sacrificial animals?" He stood up among us and said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'His hand is longer than mine,' or he said, 'My hand is shorter than his.' He said, 'There are four types of animals that are not permissible for sacrifice: a one-eyed animal whose defect is obvious, a sick animal whose sickness is obvious, a limping animal whose limp is obvious, and a broken-back animal that does not benefit.' So I said to Baraa', 'We also dislike having any deficiency in the ear, eye, or tooth.' He replied, 'If you dislike it, leave it, and do not prohibit it for anyone else.'
سَأَلْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ مَا كَرِهَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْأَضَاحِيِّ أَوْ مَا نَهَى عَنْهُ مِنَ الْأَضَاحِيِّ؟ فَقَالَ قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ وَيَدُهُ أَطْوَلُ مِنْ يَدِي أَوْ قَالَ يَدِي أَقْصَرُ مِنْ يَدِهِ قَالَ أَرْبَعٌ لَا تَجُوزُ فِي الضَّحَايَا الْعَوْرَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ عَوَرُهَا وَالْمَرِيضَةُ الْبَيِّنُ مَرَضُهَا وَالْعَرْجَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ عَرَجُهَا وَالْكَسِيرُ الَّتِي لَا تُنْقِي فَقُلْتُ لِلْبَرَاءِ فَإِنَّا نَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِي الْأُذُنِ نَقْصٌ أَوْ فِي الْعَيْنِ نَقْصٌ أَوْ فِي السِّنِّ نَقْصٌ قَالَ فَمَا كَرِهْتَهُ فَدَعْهُ وَلَا تُحَرِّمْهُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ
