"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."  

حَدِّثْنِي مَا كَرِهَ أَوْ نَهَى عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنَ الأَضَاحِي قَالَ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ هَكَذَا بِيَدِهِ وَيَدِي أَقْصَرُ مِنْ يَدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرْبَعَةٌ لاَ يَجْزِينَ فِي الأَضَاحِي الْعَوْرَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ عَوَرُهَا وَالْمَرِيضَةُ الْبَيِّنُ مَرَضُهَا وَالْعَرْجَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ ظَلْعُهَا وَالْكَسِيرَةُ الَّتِي لاَ تُنْقِي قَالَ فَإِنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ نَقْصٌ فِي الْقَرْنِ وَالأُذُنِ قَالَ فَمَا كَرِهْتَ مِنْهُ 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.”

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

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] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked, "What should be given as charity from the sacrificial animals?" He replied, "Four types." And he said, "The barren (female) camel whose foreleg is shorter than the foreleg of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, the clear-eyed goat with a clear spot on its ribs, the sheep with a clear spot on its private parts, the sick animal that clearly shows its illness, and the feeble animal that cannot be driven."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ سُئِلَ مَاذَا يُتَّقَى مِنَ الضَّحَايَا؟ فَقَالَ أَرْبَعٌ وَقَالَ الْبَرَاءُ وَيَدِي أَقْصَرُ مِنْ يَدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْعَرْجَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ ظَلْعُهَا وَالْعَوْرَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ عَوَرُهَا وَالْمَرِيضَةُ الْبَيِّنُ مَرَضُهَا وَالْعَجْفَاءُ الَّتِي لَا تُنْقِي

سَأَلْتُ الْبَرَاءَ عَمَّا نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْأَضَاحِيِّ فَقَالَ أَرْبَعٌ لَا يُجْزِئْنَ الْعَوْرَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ عَوَرُهَا وَالْعَرْجَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ ظَلْعُهَا وَالْمَرِيضَةُ الْبَيِّنُ مَرَضُهَا وَالْكَسِيرُ الَّتِي لَا تُنْقِي قَالَ قُلْتُ لِلْبَرَاءِ فَإِنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِي السِّنِّ نَقْصٌ وَفِي الْأُذُنِ نَقْصٌ وَفِي الْقَرْنِ نَقْصٌ قَالَ فَمَا كَرِهْتَ 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
