Reference for Yadayim 4:2

בּוֹ בַיּוֹם אָמְרוּ, כָּל הַזְּבָחִים שֶׁנִּזְבְּחוּ שֶׁלֹּא לִשְׁמָן, כְּשֵׁרִים, אֶלָּא שֶׁלֹּא עָלוּ לַבְּעָלִים לְשׁוּם חוֹבָה, חוּץ מִן הַפֶּסַח וּמִן הַחַטָּאת. הַפֶּסַח בִּזְמַנּוֹ, וְהַחַטָּאת בְּכָל זְמַן. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, אַף הָאָשָׁם. הַפֶּסַח בִּזְמַנּוֹ, וְהַחַטָּאת וְהָאָשָׁם בְּכָל זְמַן. אָמַר רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן עַזַּאי, מְקֻבְּלַנִי מִפִּי שִׁבְעִים וּשְׁנַיִם זָקֵן, בַּיּוֹם שֶׁהוֹשִׁיבוּ אֶת רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר בֶּן עֲזַרְיָה בַּיְשִׁיבָה, שֶׁכָּל הַזְּבָחִים הַנֶּאֱכָלִין שֶׁנִּזְבְּחוּ שֶׁלֹּא לִשְׁמָן, כְּשֵׁרִים, אֶלָּא שֶׁלֹּא עָלוּ לַבְּעָלִים לְשֵׁם חוֹבָה, חוּץ מִן הַפֶּסַח וּמִן הַחַטָּאת. לֹא הוֹסִיף בֶּן עַזַּאי אֶלָּא הָעוֹלָה, וְלֹא הוֹדוּ לוֹ חֲכָמִים:

On that very day they said: "All offerings which were offered not for their own sake [i.e. but rather with some other intention] are valid, only they are not counted to absolve the owners from their obligation, with the exception of the paschal offering and the sin-offering; [this is true of] the paschal offering in its [designated] time, and the sin-offering at all times. Rabbi Eliezar says: and even the guilt-offering [is an exception]; the paschal sacrifice in its [designated] time, and the sin-offering and the guilt-offering at all times. Rabbi Shimon ben Azzai said: "I have a recieved tradition from the mouths of seventy-two elders, on the day they inducted Rabbi Elazar ben Azaria into his seat [as head] at the Academy, that all offerings which may [generally] be eaten and which have been offered not for their own sake [i.e. but rather with some other intention] are valid, only they are not counted to absolve the owners from their obligation, with the exception of the paschal offering and the sin-offering." Ben Azzai [by limiting the statement to offerings which may be eaten] only added the burnt-offering [as an exception], and the Sages did not concede to him.
