Sunan Abu Dawood : 2802
Narrated Ubayd Ibn Firuz:
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ النَّمَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ فَيْرُوزَ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ مَا لَا يَجُوزُ فِي الأَضَاحِيِّ، فَقَالَ: قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَصَابِعِي أَقْصَرُ مِنْ أَصَابِعِهِ، وَأَنَامِلِي أَقْصَرُ مِنْ أَنَامِلِهِ، فَقَالَ: أَرْبَعٌ لَا تَجُوزُ فِي الأَضَاحِيِّ الْعَوْرَاءُ بَيِّنٌ عَوَرُهَا، وَالْمَرِيضَةُ بَيِّنٌ مَرَضُهَا، وَالْعَرْجَاءُ بَيِّنٌ ظَلْعُهَا، وَالْكَسِيرُ الَّتِي لَا تَنْقَى، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: فَإِنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِي السِّنِّ نَقْصٌ، قَالَ: مَا كَرِهْتَ فَدَعْهُ، وَلَا تُحَرِّمْهُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد: لَيْسَ لَهَا مُخٌّ.
I asked al-Bara Ibn Azib رضی اللہ عنہما : What should be avoided in sacrificial animals? He said: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم 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.
