Musnad Ahmad 826 (Book 5, Hadith 256) #34482
Checking Eyes & Ears Before Sacrifice

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of checking the eyes and ears of a cow before sacrificing it, and that even if something is wrong with its horn or it is lame, it can still be sacrificed as long as it can reach the place of sacrifice.

Hujayyah bin 'Adiyy, a man from Kindah, said: I heard a man ask 'Ali (رضي الله عنه): I bought this cow to offer it as a sacrifice. He said:It may be offered on behalf of seven people. He said: What if something is wrong with the horn? He said: It does not matter. He said: What if it is lame? He said: If it can reach the place of sacrifice, then sacrifice it. Then he said: The Messenger of Allah commanded us to check the eyes and ears.
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ سَلَمَةُ بْنُ كُهَيْلٍ أَنْبَأَنِي قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حُجَيَّةَ بْنَ عَدِيٍّ، رَجُلًا مِنْ كِنْدَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا، سَأَلَ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ إِنِّي اشْتَرَيْتُ هَذِهِ الْبَقَرَةَ لِلْأَضْحَى قَالَ عَنْ سَبْعَةٍ قَالَ الْقَرْنُ قَالَ لَا يَضُرُّكَ قَالَ الْعَرَجُ قَالَ إِذَا بَلَغَتْ الْمَنْسَكَ فَانْحَرْ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَنْ نَسْتَشْرِفَ الْعَيْنَ وَالْأُذُنَ‏.‏
