Mishkat al-Masabih 1467
وَعَن مجاشع مِنْ بَنَى سُلَيْمٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ الْجَذَعَ يُوفِي مِمَّا يُوفِي مِنْهُ الثَّنِيُّ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد وَالنَّسَائِيّ وَابْن مَاجَه
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Mujashi, from Banu Sulaym, reported that the Messenger of God used to say: “A jadha is sufficient for what a thaniyy is sufficient for.”
Abu Dawud, al-Nasai, and Ibn Majah transmitted it.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
Jadha and thaniyy are sacrificial-animal age classifications.
إِنَّ الْجَذَعَ يُوفِي مِمَّا يُوفِي مِنْهُ الثَّنِيُّ
The report uses technical age terms for sacrificial animals; exact age thresholds and species-specific application are not stated in this wording.
Should these terms remain transliterated, or should they be rendered with a species-specific age description supported by the collection context?
