Muwatta Malik #904
Hajj
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، كَانَ يَقُولُ {مَا اسْتَيْسَرَ مِنَ الْهَدْىِ} شَاةٌ .
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."
