حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاق، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَكَانَ رَجُلَ صِدْقٍ عَنْعَلِيٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نَسْتَشْرِفَ الْعَيْنَ وَالأُذُنَيْنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا نُضَحِّي بِعَوْرَاءَ وَلَا مُقَابَلَةٍ وَلَا مُدَابَرَةٍ وَلَا خَرْقَاءَ وَلَا شَرْقَاءَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ:‏‏‏‏ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي إِسْحَاق:‏‏‏‏ أَذَكَرَ عَضْبَاءَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏لَا قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ فَمَا الْمُقَابَلَةُ ؟ قَال:‏‏‏‏ يُقْطَعُ طَرَفُ الأُذُنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ فَمَا الْمُدَابَرَةُ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يُقْطَعُ مِنْ مُؤَخَّرِ الأُذُنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ فَمَا الشَّرْقَاءُ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ تُشَقُّ الأُذُنُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ فَمَا الْخَرْقَاءُ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ تُخْرَقُ أُذُنُهَا لِلسِّمَةِ.

Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم enjoined upon us to pay great attention to the eye and both ears, and not to sacrifice a one-eyed animal, and an animal with a slit which leaves something hanging at the front or back of the ear, or with a lengthwise slit with a perforation in the ear. I asked Abu Ishaq: Did he mention an animal with broken horns and uprooted ears? He said: No. I said: 'What is the Muqabalah ?' He replied: 'It has been cut from the back of its ear. ' I said: 'What about the Sharqa'? He replied: 'The ear has been split. ' I said: 'What about the Kharqa'? He replied: 'A hole is made (in its ears) as a distinguishing mark. '
