He said: "Allah's Messenger (saw) said like this with his hand. And my hand is shorter than his hand:* 'There are four that will not be accepted as sacrifices: The one-eyed animal that is obviously blind in one eye; the sick animal that is obviously sick; the lame animal with an obvious limp; and the animal that is so emaciated that it is as if there is no marrow in its bones.'"
