ذِكْرُ الْخِصَالِ الَّتِي إِذَا كَانَتْ فِي الْأُضْحِيَّةِ لَا يَجُوزُ أَنْ يُضَحَّى بِهَا

"I heard the Messenger of Allah say" - and he gestured with his fingers, but his fingers were shorter than the fingers of the Messenger of Allah - he said "It is not permissible to offer as a sacrifice an animal that clearly has one bad eye, a lame animal that is obviously lame, as sick animal that is obviously sick, or an animals that is so emaciated that it is as if there is no marrow in its bones." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4371)   

ابن حبّان:٥٩٢١أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَلْمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ فَيْرُوزَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا يَجُوزُ مِنَ الضَّحَايَا أَرْبَعٌ الْعَوْرَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ عَوَرُهَا وَالْعَرْجَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ عَرَجُهَا وَالْمَرِيضَةُ الْبَيِّنُ مَرَضُهَا وَالْعَجْفَاءُ الَّتِي لَا تُنْقِي»

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."  

مالك:٢٣-١حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ فَيْرُوزَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ

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] 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."  

أحمد:١٨٦٧٥حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي أَنَسٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ فَيْرُوزَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ

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

سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا يُتَّقَى مِنَ الضَّحَايَا؟ قَالَ «الْعَوْرَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ عَوَرُهَا وَالْعَرْجَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ ظَلْعُهَا وَالْمَرِيضَةُ الْبَيِّنُ مَرَضُهَا وَالْعَجْفَاءُ الَّتِي لَا تُنْقِي»

[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»
