"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."

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَشَارَ بِأَصَابِعِهِ وَأَصَابِعِي أَقْصَرُ مِنْ أَصَابِعِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُشِيرُ بِأَصْبُعِهِ يَقُولُ لاَ يَجُوزُ مِنَ الضَّحَايَا الْعَوْرَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ عَوَرُهَا وَالْعَرْجَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ عَرَجُهَا وَالْمَرِيضَةُ الْبَيِّنُ مَرَضُهَا وَالْعَجْفَاءُ الَّتِي لاَ تُنْقِي

malik:23-1Yaḥyá > Mālik > ʿAmr b. al-Ḥārith > ʿUbayd b. Fayrūz > al-Barāʾ b. ʿĀzib

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  

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

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