حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي (٢) بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ رَجُلَ صِدْقٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: " أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نَسْتَشْرِفَ الْعَيْنَ وَالْأُذُنَ، وَأَنْ لَا نُضَحِّيَ بِعَوْرَاءَ، وَلا مُقَابَلَةٍ، وَلا مُدَابَرَةٍ، وَلا شَرْقَاءَ، وَلا خَرْقَاءَ " قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ: فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي إِسْحَاقَ: أَذَكَرَ عَضْبَاءَ؟ قَالَ: لَا. قُلْتُ: مَا الْمُقَابَلَةُ؟ قَالَ: هِيَ الَّتِي يُقْطَعُ طَرَفُ أُذُنِهَا، قُلْتُ: فَالْمُدَابَرَةُ؟ قَالَ: الَّتِي يُقْطَعُ مُؤَخَّرُ الْأُذُنِ. قُلْتُ: مَا الشَّرْقَاءُ؟ قَالَ: الَّتِي يُشَقُّ أُذُنُهَا. قُلْتُ: فَمَا الْخَرْقَاءُ؟ قَالَ: الَّتِي تَخْرِقُ أُذُنَهَا السِّمَةُ (٣)،

It was narrated that ‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) commanded us to check the eyes and ears (of sacrificial animals), and told us not to sacrifice any that is one-eyed, or any muqabalah, mudabarah, sharqa’ or kharqa`. Zuhair said: “I said to Abu Ishaq, “Did he mention the one with its nose [or ear or lip] cut off?” He said: “No”, 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 ash-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.””
