Muwatta Malik #888
Hajj
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي الضَّحَايَا وَالْبُدْنِ الثَّنِيُّ فَمَا فَوْقَهُ .
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."
