It was narrated that 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to examine the eyes and ears of sacrificial animals and not to sacrifice one that was blind in one eye, or al-muqabalah, or mudabarah, or sharqaʼ, or Kharqaʼ. Zuhair said: I said to Abu Ishaq; Did he mention the one with its nose or ear or lip cut-off? He said: #I said: What is al-muqabalah? He said: One that has the edge of its ears cut. I said: What is al-mudabarah? He said: One whose ears are slit from the back, I said: What is al-sharqa? He said: One whose ears are slit in two lengthwise, I said: What is al-kharqa'? He said:One that has a round hole in its ear as a distinguishing mark.
