[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.'"

Yahya related to me from Malik from Amr ibn al-Harith from Ubayd ibn Fayruz from al-Bara ibn Azib that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked what animals should be avoided as sacrifices. He indicated with his hand and said, "Four." Al-Bara pointed with his hand and said, "My hand is shorter than the hand of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. A lame animal whose lameness is evident, a one-eyed animal which is clearly one-eyed, an animal which is clearly ill, and an emaciated animal with no fat on it."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ سُئِلَ مَاذَا يُتَّقَى مِنَ الضَّحَايَا فَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ وَقَالَ أَرْبَعًا وَكَانَ الْبَرَاءُ يُشِيرُ بِيَدِهِ وَيَقُولُ يَدِي أَقْصَرُ مِنْ يَدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْعَرْجَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ ظَلْعُهَا وَالْعَوْرَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ عَوَرُهَا وَالْمَرِيضَةُ الْبَيِّنُ مَرَضُهَا وَالْعَجْفَاءُ الَّتِي لاَ تُنْقِي

[Machine] I asked Al-Bara' ibn 'Azib about what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ disliked or forbade in regards to sacrificial animals. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the sacrifice in this manner, and he gestured with his hand indicating that his shortest finger was shorter than his other fingers. He said: There are four types of animals that are not sufficient unless their faults are clearly visible: the blind animal with a clearly visible blindness, the sick animal with a clearly visible sickness, the limping animal with a clearly visible limp, and the emaciated animal that cannot be improved. I said: I dislike having a deficiency in the incisor or in the ear. He said: So, whatever fault you dislike, leave it, and do not forbid it for anyone else. 19098 Abu Nasr ibn Qatadah informed us that 'Ali ibn Al-Fadl Al-Khuzai informed us that Abu Shu'aib informed us that 'Ali ibn Al-Madinay informed us that Yahya ibn Sa'id informed us that Shu'bah narrated to me that Sulaiman ibn 'Abd Al-Rahman informed me about 'Ubaid ibn Fayruz, and he mentioned the Hadith in this manner, and he did not mention hearing it from 'Ubaid ibn Fayruz. 'Ali then said: Then we looked, and it turned out that Sulaiman ibn 'Abd Al-Rahman did not hear it from 'Ubaid ibn Fayruz.
