Sunan Abi Dawud 2804 (Book 16, Hadith 17) #23094
Paying Attention to Animal's Eyes & Ears

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught us to pay attention to the eyes and ears of animals, and not to sacrifice a one-eyed animal or an animal with a slit in its ear.

Narrated Ali ibn AbuTalib: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ enjoined upon us to pay great attention to the eye and both ears, and not to sacrifice a one-eyed animal, and an animal with a slit which leaves something hanging at the front or back of the ear, or with a lengthwise slit with a perforation in the ear. I asked Abu Ishaq: Did he mention an animal with broken horns and uprooted ears? He said: #I said: 'What is the Muqabalah ?' He replied: 'It has been cut from the back of its ear'. I said: 'What about the Sharqa'? He replied: 'The ear has been split'. I said: 'What about the Kharqa'? He replied: 'A hole is made (in its ears) as a distinguishing mark'."
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ، - وَكَانَ رَجُلَ صِدْقٍ - عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ نَسْتَشْرِفَ الْعَيْنَ وَالأُذُنَيْنِ وَلاَ نُضَحِّيَ بِعَوْرَاءَ وَلاَ مُقَابَلَةٍ وَلاَ مُدَابَرَةٍ وَلاَ خَرْقَاءَ وَلاَ شَرْقَاءَ ‏.‏ قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ فَقُلْتُ لأَبِي إِسْحَاقَ أَذَكَرَ عَضْبَاءَ قَالَ لاَ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ فَمَا الْمُقَابَلَةُ قَالَ يُقْطَعُ طَرَفُ الأُذُنِ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ فَمَا الْمُدَابَرَةُ قَالَ يُقْطَعُ مِنْ مُؤَخَّرِ الأُذُنِ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ فَمَا الشَّرْقَاءُ قَالَ تُشَقُّ الأُذُنُ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ فَمَا الْخَرْقَاءُ قَالَ تُخْرَقُ أُذُنُهَا لِلسِّمَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of paying attention when sacrificing animals. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that we should not sacrifice any one-eyed animals or those with slits in their ears. He also mentioned three types of ear marks - Muqabalah, Sharqa, and Kharqa - which are used as distinguishing marks for certain animals. This hadith teaches us that we should be mindful when sacrificing an animal, and take care not to harm it in any way. We should also be aware of the different types of ear marks so that we can identify them correctly when selecting an animal for sacrifice. Furthermore, this hadith reminds us that Allah has given us many blessings and it is our duty as Muslims to show gratitude by taking care of His creations such as animals.
