“I have to offer a sacrifice and I can afford it, but I cannot find (a camel) to buy.” The Prophet ﷺ told him to buy seven sheep and slaughter them. (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3136)  

أحمد:٢٨٣٩حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ قَالَ عَطَاءٌ الْخُرَاسَانِيُّ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّ عَلَيَّ بَدَنَةً وَأَنَا مُوسِرٌ لَهَا وَلا أَجِدُهَا فَأَشْتَرِيَهَا؟ فَأَمَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ يَبْتَاعَ سَبْعَ شِيَاهٍ فَيَذْبَحَهُنَّ
