Yahya related to me from Malik from Amr ibn al-Harith from Ubayd
ibn Fayruz from al-Bara ibn Azib that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, was asked what animals should be
avoided as sacrifices. He indicated with his hand and said, "Four."
Al-Bara pointed with his hand and said, "My hand is shorter than the
hand of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace. A lame animal whose lameness is evident, a one-eyed animal
which is clearly one-eyed, an animal which is clearly ill, and an
emaciated animal with no fat on it."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that one time Abdullah
ibn Umar wanted to sacrifice an animal at Madina. Nafi said, "He told
me to buy him an excellent horned ram, then to sacrifice it on the Day
of Sacrifice in the place where the people prayed." Nafi continued, "I
did so and when the ram was sacrificed, it was carried to Abdullah ibn
Umar who shaved his head. He was ill, and did not attend the Id with
the people." Nafi added, "Abdullah ibn Umar used to say, 'Shaving the
head is not obligatory for someone who sacrifices an animal.' Ibn Umar
would do so however."
