"I said to Al-Bara bin Azib: 'Tell me of the sacrificial animals that the Messenger of Allah dislike or forbade. He said: "The Messenger of Allah gestured like this with his hand, and my hands are shorter than the hand of the Messenger of Allah, (and he said). 'There are four that will not do as sacrifices: The animal that clearly has one bad eye: the sick animals that is obviously sick; the lame animal with an obvious lamp; 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." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4370)   

عَنْ شُعْبَةَ وَهَذَا اللَّفْظُ حَدِيثُ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عُبَيْدَ بْنَ فَيْرُوزٍ يَقُولُ قُلْتُ لِلْبَرَاءِ حَدَّثَنِي عَمَّا كَرِهَ أَوْ نَهَى عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْأَضَاحِي قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَكَذَا بِيَدِهِ وَيَدِي أَقْصَرُ مِنْ يَدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرْبَعٌ لَا يَجْزِينَ فِي الْأَضَاحِي الْعَوْرَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ عَوَرُهَا وَالْمَرِيضَةُ الْبَيِّنُ مَرَضُهَا وَالْعَرْجَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ عَرَجُهَا وَالْكَسِيرُ الَّتِي لَا تَنْقَى قَالَ قُلْتُ فَإِنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ نَقْصٌ فِي الْأُذُنِ وَالْقَرْنِ قَالَ «فَمَا كَرِهْتَ فَدَعْهُ وَلَا تُحَرِّمْهُ عَلَى غَيْرِكَ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was asked, "What should be done with sacrificial animals?" He pointed with his hand and said, "Four things." Al-Bara'ah used to point with his hand and say, "My hand is shorter than the hand of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The clear calf with its rib, the clear camel with its hump, the clear sick one with its sickness, and the thin one that cannot be fattened." Abu Nasr 'Umar ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz reported to us that 'Ali ibn al-Fadl ibn Muhammad ibn 'Aqil al-Khuza'i reported to us that Abu Shu'ayb al-Harani informed us that 'Ali ibn al-Madini said: 'Ubayd ibn Fiyruz is from the people of Egypt, and we have not heard 'Amr ibn al-Harith mention him. So we looked and it was true that 'Amr ibn al-Harith had not heard him. Abu Nasr reported to us that 'Ali (ibn al-Fadl) reported to us that Abu Shu'ayb reported to us that 'Ali said: Ru'uh ibn 'Ubadah informed us that Usamah ibn Zaid narrated to him from 'Amr ibn al-Harith, from Yazid ibn Abi Habib, from 'Ubayd ibn Fiyruz. 'Ali then said: So we looked and found that Yazid ibn Abi Habib had not heard him from 'Ubayd ibn Fiyruz. 'Abd al-A'la reported to us from Muhammad ibn Ishaq that he narrated to them from Yazid ibn Abi Habib, from Sulaiman ibn 'Abd al-Rahman, from 'Ubayd ibn Fiyruz. 'Ali then said: So the hadith revolves around the hadith of Shu'bah.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ سُئِلَ مَاذَا يُتَّقَى مِنَ الضَّحَايَا؟ فَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَ أَرْبَعًا وَكَانَ الْبَرَاءُ يُشِيرُ بِيَدِهِ وَيَقُولُ وَيَدِي أَقْصَرُ مِنْ يَدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْعَرْجَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ ظَلَعُهَا وَالْعَوْرَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ عَوَرُهَا وَالْمَرِيضَةُ الْبَيِّنُ مَرَضُهَا وَالْعَجْفَاءُ الَّتِي لَا تَنْقَى 19095 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرٍ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ أنبأ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ الْخُزَاعِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ قَالَ عُبَيْدُ بْنُ فَيْرُوزَ هَذَا مِنْ أَهْلِ مِصْرَ وَلَمْ نَدْرِ أَلَقِيَهُ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ أَمْ لَا فَنَظَرنَاَ فَإِذَا عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ لَمْ يَسْمَعْهُ مِنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ فَيْرُوزَ 19096 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرٍ أنبأ عَلِيٌّ أنبأ أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ ثنا عَلِيٌّ قَالَ فَحَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ ثنا أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ فَيْرُوزَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ثُمَّ نَظَرْنَا فَإِذَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ لَمْ يَسْمَعْهُ مِنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ فَيْرُوزَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُمْ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ فَيْرُوزَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ فَإِذَا الْحَدِيثُ يَدُورُ عَلَى حَدِيثِ شُعْبَةَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ spoke to me about the four things that are disliked: a woman who reveals her private parts, a woman who reveals her illness, a woman with a crooked rib, and a woman who never becomes clean (from menstruation). Ali replied, "This is the narration of Layth." And Uthman said, "I asked Layth bin Sa'd, 'O Abu Al-Harith, does Shu'bah narrate this hadith from Sulaiman bin Abdul Rahman, who heard it from Ubaid bin Firoz?' He replied, 'No, Sulaiman narrated to us from Al-Qasim, the freed slave of Khalid, who narrated from Ubaid bin Firoz.' Uthman bin Umar added, 'I met Shu'bah and said to him, 'Layth narrated to us this hadith from Sulaiman bin Abdul Rahman, who heard it from Al-Qasim, who heard it from Ubaid bin Firoz.' And Shu'bah mentioned the person who had a similar defect as the woman who never becomes clean, he said, 'This is how I memorized it, just as you narrated it.'"  

حَدِّثْنِي مَا كَرِهَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الضَّحَايَا قَالَ أَرْبَعٌ وَيَدِي أَقْصَرُ مِنْ يَدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَرْبَعٌ لَا تَجُوزُ الْعَوْرَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ عَوَرُهَا وَالْمَرِيضَةُ الْبَيِّنُ مَرَضُهَا وَالْعَرْجَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ ظَلَعُهَا وَالْعَجْفَاءُ الَّتِي لَا تَنْقَى قَالَ عَلِيٌّ فَإِذَا الْحَدِيثُ حَدِيثُ لَيْثٍ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ قَالَ عُثْمَانُ فَقُلْتُ لِلَّيْثِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ يَا أَبَا الْحَارِثِ إِنَّ شُعْبَةَ يَرْوِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ سَمِعَ عُبَيْدَ بْنَ فَيْرُوزَ؟ قَالَ لَا إِنَّمَا حَدَّثَنَا بِهِ سُلَيْمَانُ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ مَوْلَى خَالِدٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ فَيْرُوزَ قَالَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ فَلَقِيتُ شُعْبَةَ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ لَيْثًا حَدَّثَنَا بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ فَيْرُوزَ وَجَعَلَ مَكَانَ الْكَسِيرِ الَّتِي لَا تَنْقَى الْعَجْفَاءَ الَّتِي لَا تَنْقَى قَالَ فَقَالَ شُعْبَةُ هَكَذَا حَفِظْتُهُ كَمَا حَدَّثْتَ بِهِ كَذَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked: "What should be avoided when sacrificing?" He pointed with his hand and said: "There are four." He then said, "My hand is shorter than the hand of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . The first is a blind animal whose blindness is clearly apparent, the second is a sick animal whose sickness is clearly apparent, the third is an emaciated animal which is clearly weak, and the fourth is one whose horn, ear, or teeth has been broken. I then said to Al-Bara': 'I dislike (these defects) in horn, ear and tooth.' He replied: 'Dislike for yourself whatever you wish, and do not impose it on anyone else.'"  

سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا يُتَّقَى مِنَ الضَّحَايَا فَقَالَ أَرْبَعٌ وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَ يَدِي أَقْصَرُ مِنْ يَدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْعَوْرَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ عَوَرُهَا وَالْعَرْجَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ ظَلَعُهَا وَالْمَرِيضَةُ الْبَيِّنُ مَرَضُهَا وَالْعَجْفَاءُ الَّتِي لَا تَنْقَى قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لِلْبَرَاءِ فَإِنِّي أَكْرَهُ النَّقْصَ فِي الْقَرْنِ وَالْأُذُنِ وَالسِّنِّ قَالَ فَاكْرَهْ لِنَفْسِكَ مَا شِئْتَ وَلَا تُحَرِّمْ ذَلِكَ عَلَى أَحَدٍ وَكَذَلِكَ
