حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ، قَالَ: أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ 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 قُلْتُ لِأَبِي إِسْحَاقَ: أَذَكَرَ عَضْبَاءَ؟ قَالَ: لَا. قُلْتُ: مَا، ، الْمُقَابَلَةُ قَالَ: " يُقْطَعُ طَرَفُ الْأُذُنِ "، قُلْتُ: مَا الْمُدَابَرَةُ؟ قَالَ: " يُقْطَعُ مُؤَخَّرُ الْأُذُنِ " قُلْتُ: مَا الشَّرْقَاءُ؟ قَالَ: " تُشَقُّ الْأُذُنُ " قُلْتُ: مَا الْخَرْقَاءُ؟ قَالَ: " تَخْرِقُ أُذُنَهَا السِّمَةُ " (١)،

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] cutoff? 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 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.
