"IU said to Al-Bara bin Azib: 'Tell me of the sacrificial animals that the Messenger of Allah disliked or forbade, He said: The Messenger of Allah stood up, and my hands are shorter than his, and he said: "There are four that will not do as sacrifices: the animals that clearly has one bad eye: the sick animals that is obviously sick; the lame animal with an obvious limp; and the animal that is so emaciated that it is as if three is no marrow in its bones."' I said: "I dislike that the animals should have some fault in its horns or teeth' He said;'what you dislike, forget about it and do not make it for bidden to anyone.""

"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."

I asked al-Bara' ibn Azib: What should be avoided in sacrificial animals? He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood among us, and my fingers are smaller than his fingers, and my fingertips are smaller than his fingertips. He said (pointing with his fingers): Four (types of animals) should be avoided in sacrifice: A One-eyed animal which has obviously lost the sight of one eye, a sick animal which is obviously sick, a lame animal which obviously limps and an animal with a broken leg with no marrow. I also detest an animal which has defective teeth. He said: Leave what you detest, but do not make it illegal for anyone. Abu Dawud said: (By a lean animal mean) and animal which has no marrow.  

قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَصَابِعِي أَقْصَرُ مِنْ أَصَابِعِهِ وَأَنَامِلِي أَقْصَرُ مِنْ أَنَامِلِهِ فَقَالَ أَرْبَعٌ لاَ تَجُوزُ فِي الأَضَاحِي الْعَوْرَاءُ بَيِّنٌ عَوَرُهَا وَالْمَرِيضَةُ بَيِّنٌ مَرَضُهَا وَالْعَرْجَاءُ بَيِّنٌ ظَلْعُهَا وَالْكَسِيرُ الَّتِي لاَ تَنْقَى قَالَ قُلْتُ فَإِنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِي السِّنِّ نَقْصٌ قَالَ مَا كَرِهْتَ فَدَعْهُ وَلاَ تُحَرِّمْهُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ  

“I heard ‘Ubaid bin Fairuz say: ‘I said to Bara’ bin ‘Azib: “Tell us of the sacrificial animals that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ disliked or forbade.” He said: “Allah’s Messenger ﷺ said like this with his hand. And my hand is shorter than his hand:* ‘There are four that will not be accepted as sacrifices: The one-eyed animal that is obviously blind in one eye; the sick animal that is obviously sick; the lame animal with an obvious limp; 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 ears.” He said: “What you dislike, forget about it and do not make it forbidden to anyone.”

عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْأَضَاحِيِّ أَوْ مَا يُكْرَهُ قَالَ قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَيَدِي أَقْصَرُ مِنْ يَدِهِ فَقَالَ أَرْبَعٌ لَا يَجُزْنَ الْعَوْرَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ عَوَرُهَا وَالْمَرِيضَةُ الْبَيِّنُ مَرَضُهَا وَالْعَرْجَاءُ الْبَيِّنُظَلْعُهَا وَالْكَسِيرُ الَّتِي لَا تُنْقِي قُلْتُ إِنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِي السِّنِّ نَقْصٌ وَفِي الْأُذُنِ نَقْصٌ وَفِي الْقَرْنِ نَقْصٌ قَالَ مَا كَرِهْتَ فَدَعْهُ وَلَا تُحَرِّمْهُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ  

[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  

[Machine] He said: "Indeed, we dislike flaws in speech and hearing." So Bara'a said to him: "Dislike for yourself whatever you wish, but do not prohibit it for others." Bara'a said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "There are four things that are not permissible as sacrificial animals: the one that is clearly blind, the one that has a clear injury in its limbs, the one that is clearly sick, and the one that is emaciated and cannot be fattened."  

لَهُ إِنَّا نَكْرَهُ النَّقْصَ فِي الْقُرُونِ وَالْأُذُنِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْبَرَاءُ اكْرَهْ لِنَفْسِكَ مَا شِئْتَ وَلَا تُحَرِّمْهُ عَلَى النَّاسِ قَالَ الْبَرَاءُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرْبَعٌ لَا يَجْزِي فِي الضَّحَايَا الْعَوْرَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ عَوَرُهَا وَالْمَكْسُورَةُ بَعْضُ قَوَائِمِهَا بَيِّنٌ كَسْرُهَا وَالْمَرِيضَةُ بَيِّنٌ مَرَضُهَا وَالْعَجْفَاءُ الَّتِي لَا تَنْقَى  

"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 Messenger of Allah ﷺ pointed with his hand, and my hand is shorter than his hand, and he said, "There are four things that should not be abandoned: visible nakedness that should be covered, clear sickness that should be treated, visible disability that should be supported, and a lean person in need of nourishment." They said to Al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him), "We only find the defect in terms of age, ear, and tail." He said, "Dislike whatever you wish, but do not make it forbidden for people."  

أَشَارَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ وَيَدِي أَقْصَرُ مِنْ يَدِهِ فَقَالَ «أَرْبَعٌ لَا يُضَحَّى بِهِنَّ الْعَوْرَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ عَوَرُهَا وَالْمَرِيضَةُ الْبَيِّنُ مَرَضُهَا وَالْعَرْجَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ ظَلَعُهَا وَالْعَجْفَاءُ الَّتِي لَا تُنْقِي» فَقَالُوا لِلْبَرَاءِ فَإِنَّمَا نَكْرَهُ النَّقْصَ فِي السِّنِّ وَالْأُذُنِ وَالذَّنَبِ قَالَ «فَاكْرَهُوا مَا شِئْتُمْ وَلَا تُحَرِّمُوا عَلَى النَّاسِ»  

[Machine] I asked Al-Bara' ibn 'Azib what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ disliked about sacrificial animals. He said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There are four types that are not permissible in the sacrificial animals of Eid Al-Adha: a lame animal with a visible limp, a blind animal with visible blindness, a sick animal with evident sickness, and an animal that is emaciated and cannot be fattened."  

سَأَئلْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ مَا كَرِهَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْأُضْحِيَّةِ؟ فَقَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَرْبَعٌ لَا تَجُوزُ فِي الْأَضْحَى الْعَوْرَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ عَوَرُهَا وَالْعَرْجَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ عَرَجُهَا وَالْمَرِيضَةُ الْبَيِّنُ مَرَضُهَا وَالْكَسِيرُ الَّتِي لَا تُنْقِي»
