Chapter 44: What to Do with Sacrificial Animals (Hadys) while They are being Driven

Muwatta Malik 890

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar used to say, about sacrificial animals, "Six-year-old camels, three- year-old cows and sheep, or older than these."
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي الضَّحَايَا وَالْبُدْنِ الثَّنِيُّ فَمَا فَوْقَهُ ‏.‏
