Musnad Ahmad 1157 (Book 5, Hadith 570) #34796
Prohibiting the Sacrifice of Injured Animals

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) forbade sacrificing an animal that had lost most of its horn or ear.

It was narrated that Qatadah said: I heard Jurayy bin Kulaib say: I heard 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) say: The Messenger of Allah forbade (sacrificing) an animal that had lost most of its horn or ear. Qatadah said: I asked Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab: What does lost most of its ear mean? He said: If it has lost half or more of it.
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، حَدَّثَنِي شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جُرَيَّ بْنَ كُلَيْبٍ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَضَبِ الْقَرْنِ وَالْأُذُنِ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ فَسَأَلْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ قَالَ قُلْتُ مَا عَضَبُ الْأُذُنِ فَقَالَ إِذَا كَانَ النِّصْفَ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ‏.‏
