Sunan Abi Dawud 2803

Ibrahim ibn Musa al-Razi narrated to us. He said: [A second chain:] Ali ibn Bahr ibn Barri narrated to us: Isa narrated to us—the meaning is the same—from Thawr. Abu Humayd al-Ru’ayni narrated to me: Yazid, Dhu Misr, informed me: I came to Utbah ibn Abd al-Sulami and said, ‘Abu al-Walid, I went out looking for sacrificial animals and found nothing that pleased me except a toothless animal, but I disliked it. What do you think?’ He said, ‘Why did you not bring it to me?’ I said, ‘Glory be to Allah! It is suitable for you but not for me?’ He said, ‘Yes, because you have doubts and I have no doubt. The Messenger of Allah only forbade the musaffarah, the musta’salah, the bakqa’, the mushayya’ah, and the kasra’. The musaffarah is one whose ear has been cut all the way through until its inner passage shows. The musta’salah is one whose horn has been cut off at the root. The bakqa’ is one whose eye has been gouged. The mushayya’ah is one so thin and weak that it cannot keep up with the flock. The kasra’ is the lame one.’
