Chapter 49: The Sacrificial Animals that are Considered Least Difficult
Muwatta Malik 906
Yahya related to me from Malik from Jafar ibn Muhammad from his father that Ali ibn Abi Talib used to say, "The least difficult thing acceptable as a sacrificial animal is a sheep."
وَحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، كَانَ يَقُولُ {مَا اسْتَيْسَرَ مِنَ الْهَدْىِ} شَاةٌ .
