Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 43, Hadith 11
-Bara bnin ‘Azib said: “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.”
“ لاَ يَجُوزُ مِنَ الضَّحَايَا الْعَوْرَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ عَوَرُهَا وَالْعَرْجَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ عَرَجُهَا وَالْمَرِيضَةُ الْبَيِّنُ مَرَضُهَا وَالْعَجْفَاءُ الَّتِي لاَ تُنْقِي ” .
