[Machine] I came to the doorstep of Utbah ibn Abdus-Salam, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and I said, "O Abu Al-Walid, I have gone out to seek sacrificial animals, but I did not find anything except Tharmasah (a type of sheep with a cut tail) and I dislike it. What do you say?" He said, "Why don't you come to me and sacrifice it?" I said, "Subhan Allah, would it be permissible for you and not for me?" He said, "Yes, because you are doubtful, and I am not doubtful. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited (sacrificing) the Mutsaffirah (a type of sheep with a cut tail) and the Musta'shalah (a type of sheep with a broken horn), the one whose horn is completely broken off from its root, and the one-eyed animal whose eye has protruded, and the diseased animal that does not follow the flock, limping or weak, and the Kasra (a type of camel with a broken leg)."

أَتَيْتُ عُتْبَةَ بْنَ عَبْدٍ السُّلَمِيَّ صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا الْوَلِيدِ إنِّي خَرَجْتُ ألْتَمِسُ الضَّحَايَا فَلَمْ أَجِدْ غَيْرَ ثَرْمَاءَ فَكَرِهْتُهَا فَمَا تَقُولُ؟ قَالَ ألَا جِئْتَنِي أُضَحِّي بِهَا؟ قُلْتُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ لَا تَجُوزُ عَنْكَ وَلَا تَجُوزُ عَنِّي؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ لِأَنَّكَ تَشُكُّ وَلَا أَشُكُّ إِنَّمَا «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْمُصْفَرَةِ وَالْمُسْتَأْصَلَةِ قَرْنُهَا مِنْ أَصْلِهَا وَالْبَخْقَاءِ الَّتِي بَخَقَتْ عَيْنُهَا وَالْمُشَيِّعَةِ الَّتِي لَا تَتْبَعُ الْغَنَمَ عَرَجًا وَضَعْفًا وَالْكَسْرَاءِ الْكَسِيرَةِ»

I came to Utbah ibn AbdusSulami and said: AbulWalid, I went out seeking sacrificial animals. I did not find anything which attracted me except an animal whose teeth have fallen. So I abominated it. What do you say (about it)? He said: Why did you not bring it to me? He said: Glory be to Allah: Is if lawful for you and not lawful for me? He said: Yes, you doubt and I do not doubt. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has forbidden an animal whose ear has been uprooted so much so that its hole appears (outwardly), and an animal whose horn has broken from the root, and an animal which has totally lost the sight of its eye, and an animal which is so thin and weak that it cannot go with the herd, and an animal with a broken leg.

[Machine] "O Abu Al-Walid, indeed we left early in the morning to search for the remnants of the fallen prey, but we could hardly find anything to be gathered except that I found a fat thigh. Utbah said, "Why did you not bring it to us?" So, he invoked, "O Allah, forgive me for surpassing you while you do not surpass me." He said, "Yes." He said, "Why is that?" He said, "You doubt, while I do not doubt." Then, Utbah brought out his hand and said, "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade five things: the hunted animal with severed horns, the hunted bird with severed wings, the drowned fish, the dead mouse, and the broken egg." He said, "And the hunted animal with severed horns is the one whose horn is cut, the hunted bird with severed wings is the one whose wings are cut, the drowned fish is the one whose eyes are white, the dead mouse has visible traces of death, and the broken egg is the empty one or the one inhabited by illness that does not follow the flock."
