Musnad Ahmad 1048 (Book 5, Hadith 467) #34693
Prohibiting the Sacrifice of Injured Animals

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) forbade sacrificing an animal that has lost most of its horn or ear.

It was narrated from Jurayy bin Kulaib, that he heard 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) say: The Messenger of Allah forbade sacrificing an animal that has lost most of its horn or ear. Qatadah said: I mentioned that to Sa’eed bin al-Musayyab and he said. That refers to one that has lost half or more (of its horn or ear).
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، قَالَ سُئِلَ سَعِيدٌ عَنْ الْأَعْضَبِ، هَلْ يُضَحَّى بِهِ فَأَخْبَرَنَا عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ جُرَيِّ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ، رَجُلٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلِيًّا، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَنْ يُضَحَّى بِأَعْضَبِ الْقَرْنِ وَالْأُذُنِ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِسَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ فَقَالَ الْعَضَبُ النِّصْفُ فَأَكْثَرُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the prohibition of sacrificing animals that have been injured. It was narrated from Jurayy bin Kulaib that he heard 'Ali say that the Messenger of Allah forbade sacrificing an animal with a missing horn or ear. Qatadah then mentioned this to Saeed bin al-Musayyab who clarified it further by saying it refers to one with half or more missing. This hadith teaches us to be compassionate towards animals and not sacrifice them if they are injured in any way as this is against Islamic teachings. We should also take care when selecting animals for sacrifice and ensure they are healthy and fit for slaughtering according to Islamic guidelines.
