[Machine] "In his statement, 'Sacrifice and slaughter,' he said, 'Slaughter on the Day of Sacrifice.' We have narrated this from Al-Hasan, Mujahid, Sa'id ibn Jubayr, and 'Ikrimah. Its interpretation has been mentioned differently, and that has already passed in the book of prayer."  

فِي قَوْلِهِ وَانْحَرْ قَالَ يَقُولُ فَاذْبَحْ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ وَرُوِّينَا عَنِ الْحَسَنِ وَمُجَاهِدٍ وَسَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ وَعِكْرِمَةَ مَعْنَاهُ وَقَدْ قِيلَ فِي تَفْسِيرِهِ غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ وَقَدْ مَضَى ذَلِكَ فِي كِتَابِ الصَّلَاةِ  

[Machine] I heard Anas bin Malik narrating that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to sacrifice two rams. Anas added, "And I also used to sacrifice two rams."  

سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ؓ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُضَحِّي بِكَبْشَيْنِ قَالَ أَنَسٌ وَأَنَا أُضَحِّي بِكَبْشَيْنِ  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sacrificed two rams, both horned, speckled with salt, he would name them and praise Allah, and place his foot on their sides, and slaughter them with his own hand.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ضَحَّى بِكَبْشَيْنِ أَقْرَنَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ يُسَمِّي وَيُكَبِّرُ وَيَضَعُ رِجْلَهُ عَلَى صِفَاحِهِمَا وَيَذْبَحُهُمَا بِيَدِهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ slaughtered two salty sheep with horns, placing his foot on their foreheads, saying the name of Allah and uttering the takbir (saying Allahu akbar), then he slaughtered them with his own hand.  

ضَحَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِكَبْشَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ أَقْرَنَيْنِ وَاضِعًا قَدَمَهُ عَلَى صِفَاحَيْهِمَا يُسَمِّي وَيُكَبِّرُ فَذَبَحَهُمَا يَعْنِي بِيَدِهِ  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , would buy two healthy, fat, and horned rams when it was the time for sacrifice. Then, when he delivered the sermon and performed the prayer, he would slaughter one of the rams with his own hands and say, "O Allah, this is on behalf of my entire Ummah, anyone who bears witness to Your Oneness and testifies for me in delivering the message." Then, he would bring the other ram and slaughter it, saying, "O Allah, this is on behalf of Muhammad and the family of Muhammad." Then, he would feed the poor with the meat of the two rams and he and his family would also eat from it. We remained in this condition for many years, and Allah relieved us from poverty and distress. None of the Banu Hashim would sacrifice in the same manner as he did. Translation Reference: Sahih Muslim, Book of Sacrificial Animals, Hadith 1968.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا ضَحَّى اشْتَرَى كَبْشَيْنِ سَمِينَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ أَقْرَنَيْنِ فَإِذَا خَطَبَ وَصَلَّى ذَبَحَ أَحَدَ الْكَبْشَيْنِ بِنَفْسِهِ بِالْمُدْيَةِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ هَذَا عَنْ أُمَّتِي جَمِيعًا مَنْ شَهِدَ لَكَ بِالتَّوْحِيدِ وَشَهِدَ لِي بِالْبَلَاغِ ثُمَّ أَتَى بِالْآخَرِ فَذَبَحَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللهُمَّ هَذَا عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ثُمَّ يُطْعِمُهُمَا الْمَسَاكِينَ وَيَأْكُلُ هُوَ وَأَهْلُهُ مِنْهُمَا فَمَكَثْنَا سِنِينَ قَدْ كَفَانَا اللهُ الْغُرْمَ وَالْمُؤْنَةَ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ يُضَحِّي وَبِمَعْنَاهُ  

[Machine] "During our standing at Arafah with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, 'Every year, every household must offer a sacrifice and give a ransom. Do you know what the ransom is?' I replied, 'I do not know how they respond to it.' He said, 'It is what the people call Rajabiyyah.'"  

بَيْنَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وُقُوفٌ بِعَرَفَةَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ عَلَى كُلِّ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ أَضْحَاةً وَعَتِيرَةً هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا الْعَتِيرَةُ ؟ قَالَ فَلَا أَدْرِي مَا رَدُّوا قَالَ هِيَ الَّتِي يَقُولُ لَهَا النَّاسُ الرَّجَبِيَّةُ  

[Machine] Our delegation, the Ghamid delegation, informed us that when they arrived at the Prophet's ﷺ, he said, "Every Muslim household should offer a sacrifice and perform the 'Atirah."  

أَخْبَرَنَا وَفْدُنَا وَفْدُ غَامِدٍ حَيْثُ قَدِمُوا مِنْ عِنْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ عَلَى كُلِّ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ضَحِيَّةٌ وَعَتِيرَةٌ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever has the means to offer a sacrifice but does not do so, then they should not attend our prayer."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ وَجَدَ سَعَةً لِأَنْ يُضَحِّيَ فَلَمْ يُضَحِّ فَلَا يَحْضُرْ مُصَلَّانَا وَكَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] He said, "Whoever finds the means and does not sacrifice, he should not come near our mosque." Abu Bakr ibn al-Harith informed us that Ali ibn Umar al-Hafiz narrated to us that Abu Bakr al-Naysaburi narrated to us that Ahmad ibn Abdul Rahman ibn Wahb told me that my uncle narrated to me that Abdullah ibn Ayyash mentioned it.  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ وَجَدَ سَعَةً فَلَمْ يُضَحِّ فَلَا يَقْرَبْنَا فِي مَسْجِدِنَا مَوْقُوفٌ أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ أنبأ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ حَدَّثَنِي عَمِّي ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ فَذَكَرَهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You have not spent money on anything better than providing food for a person on the day of Eid, as Muhammad ibn Rabee'ah did, on behalf of Ibrahim al-Khuzai, despite not being wealthy."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا أَنْفَقْتَ الْوَرِقَ فِي شَيْءٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ نَحِيرَةٍ فِي يَوْمِ عِيدٍ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْخُوزِيِّ وَلَيْسَا بِالْقَوِيَّيْنِ  

[Machine] Allah ﷺ said: "No action performed by the son of Adam on the Day of Sacrifice is dearer to Allah than shedding blood. It will come on the Day of Resurrection with its horns, hooves, and feathers, and indeed the blood falls in a place before it falls on the ground. So, purify yourselves with it." Al-Bukhari reported from Abu 'Isa that this is a Mursal Hadith, which Abu al-Muthanna did not hear from Hisham ibn 'Urwah. Sheikh Ahmad said.  

اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَا عَمِلَ آدَمِيٌّ مِنْ عَمَلٍ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ أَحَبَّ إِلَى اللهِ مِنْ إِهْرَاقِ دَمٍ وَإِنَّهُ لَيَأْتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فِي قَرْنِهِ بِقُرُونِهَا وَأَشْعَارِهَا وَأَظْلَافِهَا وَإِنَّ الدَّمَ لَيَقَعُ مِنَ اللهِ بِمَكَانٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقَعَ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَطِيبُوا بِهَا نَفْسًا قَالَ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِيمَا حَكَى أَبُو عِيسَى عَنْهُ هُوَ حَدِيثٌ مُرْسَلٌ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ أَبُو الْمُثَنَّى مِنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ أَحْمَدُ  

[Machine] On the authority of Zaid bin Arqam, they said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , "What are these sacrifices?" He said, "They are the tradition of your father Ibrahim ﷺ ." They said, "What reward do we have in it?" He said, "For every good deed, there is a reward."  

عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ ؓ أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَا هَذِهِ الْأَضَاحِيُّ؟ قَالَ سُنَّةُ أَبِيكُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَالُوا مَا لَنَا فِيهَا مِنَ الْأَجْرِ؟ قَالَ بِكُلِّ قَطْرَةٍ حَسَنَةٌ  

[Machine] We said, "O Messenger of Allah, what are these sacrifices?" He said, "It is the Sunnah (tradition) of your father Ibrahim." We said, "What is our reward in it?" He said, "For every hair of the sacrificed animal, there is a reward." We said, "What about the wool?" He said, "For every hair of the wool, there is a reward." Abu Sa'id Al-Malini narrated to us, Abu Ahmad Ibn Adi said, "I heard Ibn Hammad saying that Al-Bukhari mentioned it in his book, 'I seek refuge with Allah,' Al-Mujashi'i narrated it from Abu Dawud who narrated it from Salam Ibn Muskin. His (Salam's) hadith is not reliable." Abu Ahmad said, "This hadith is known as 'I seek refuge with Allah,' and it is not narrated by anyone except Salam Ibn Muskin, and Abu Dawud did not mention him. Instead, it was mentioned as "Nufay' Ibn Al-Harith."  

قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا هَذِهِ الْأَضَاحِيُّ؟ قَالَ سُنَّةُ أَبِيكُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَالَ قُلْنَا فَمَا لَنَا فِيهَا؟ قَالَ بِكُلِّ شَعْرَةٍ حَسَنَةٌ قَالَ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَالصُّوفُ؟ قَالَ بِكُلِّ شَعْرَةٍ مِنَ الصُّوفِ حَسَنَةٌ 19018 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعْدٍ الْمَالِينِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ حَمَّادٍ يَقُولُ قَالَ الْبُخَارِيُّ عَائِذُ اللهِ الْمُجَاشِعِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي دَاوُدَ رَوَى عَنْهُ سَلَّامُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ لَا يَصِحُّ حَدِيثَهُ قَالَ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ يُعْرَفُ بِعَائِذِ اللهِ وَلَيْسَ يَرْوِيهِ عَنْهُ غَيْرُ سَلَّامُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ لَمْ يُسَمَّ هُوَ نُفَيْعُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "The sacrificial animal of Eid Al-Adha replaces every sacrifice, and fasting in Ramadan replaces every fast, and the washing from sexual impurity replaces every washing, and the Zakah replaces every charity." Ali disagreed with Al-Musayyib bin Wadih, from Al-Musayyib bin Sharik, and both of them are weak, and Al-Musayyib bin Sharik is abandoned.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَسَخَ الْأَضْحَى كُلَّ ذَبْحٍ وَصَوْمُ رَمَضَانَ كُلَّ صَوْمٍ وَالْغُسْلُ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ كُلَّ غُسْلٍ وَالزَّكَاةُ كُلَّ صَدَقَةٍ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ خَالَفَهُ الْمُسَيِّبُ بْنُ وَاضِحٍ عَنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ بْنِ شَرِيكٍ وَكِلَاهُمَا ضَعِيفٌ وَالْمُسَيِّبُ بْنُ شَرِيكٍ مَتْرُوكٌ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Zakat (obligatory charity) has abrogated every form of voluntary charity in the Quran, and the purification from sexual impurity has abrogated every form of ritual purification, and the fasting of Ramadan has abrogated every other form of fasting, and the sacrifice of Eid al-Adha has abrogated every form of animal slaughter."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَسَخَتِ الزَّكَاةُ كُلَّ صَدَقَةٍ فِي الْقُرْآنِ وَنَسَخَ غُسْلُ الْجَنَابَةِ كُلَّ غُسْلٍ وَنَسَخَ صَوْمُ رَمَضَانَ كُلَّ صَوْمٍ وَنَسَخَ الْأَضْحَى كُلَّ ذَبْحٍ  

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, can I borrow and sacrifice?" He said, "Yes, for it is a debt that will be fulfilled." Ali said, "This is a weak chain of narration, and Hudhair is the son of Abdur Rahman ibn Rafi ibn Khadij, who did not hear from Aisha, nor did he meet her."  

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَسْتَدِينُ وَأُضَحِّي؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَإِنَّهُ دَيْنٌ مَقْضِيٌّ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ هَذَا إِسْنَادٌ ضَعِيفٌ وَهُدَيْرٌ هُوَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ وَلَمْ يُدْرِكْهَا  

[Machine] I heard Jundub ibn Sufyan al-Bajali saying, "I witnessed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the Day of Sacrifice saying, 'Whoever slaughtered before praying, let him renew his place, and whoever did not slaughter, let him slaughter.'"  

سَمِعْتُ جُنْدُبَ بْنَ سُفْيَانَ الْبَجَلِيَّ ؓ يَقُولُ شَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ يَقُولُ مَنْ ذَبَحَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ فَلْيُعِدْ مَكَانَهَا وَمَنْ لَمْ يَذْبَحْ فَلْيَذْبَحْ  

Apostle of Allah, it is the day of meat and it is not desirable (to have longing for it and not to make use of it immediately), so I hastened in offering my animal as a sacrifice, so that I might feed my family and neighbours and my kith and kin. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Offer again your sacrifice. He said: Messenger of Allah, I have a small milch goat of less than one year, and that is better than two dry goats (from which only) meat (can be acquired). Thereupon he said: That is better than the two animals of sacrifice on your behalf, and the sacrifice of a goat, of less than six months shall not be accepted as a sacrifice on behalf of anyone after your (sacrifice). (Using translation from Muslim 1961b)   

أَنْ يَذْبَحَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ هَذَا يَوْمٌ اللَّحْمُ فِيهِ مَكْرُوهٌ وَإِنِّي عَجَّلْتُ نَسِيكَتِي لِأُطْعِمَ أَهْلِي وَجِيرَانِي وَأَهْلَ دَارِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَعِدْ نُسُكًا فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ عِنْدِي عَنَاقًا لَهِيَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ شَاتَيْ لَحْمٍ فَقَالَ هِيَ خَيْرُ نَسِيكَتِكَ وَلَا تُجْزِي جَذَعَةٌ عَنْ أَحَدٍ بَعْدَكَ  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever slaughtered (his sacrifice) before the ʿId prayer, should slaughter again." A man stood up and said, "This is the day on which one has desire for meat," and he mentioned something about his neighbors. It seemed that the Prophet ﷺ I believed him. Then the same man added, "I have a young she-goat which is dearer to me than the meat of two sheep." The Prophet ﷺ permitted him to slaughter it as a sacrifice. I do not know whether that permission was valid only for him or for others as well. (Using translation from Bukhārī 954)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ مَنْ كَانَ ذَبَحَ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ فَلْيُعِدْ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَذَا يَوْمٌ يُشْتَهَى فِيهِ اللَّحْمُ وَذَكَرَ هَنَةً مِنْ جِيرَانِهِ كَأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَدَّقَهُ وَعِنْدِي جَذَعَةٌ أَحَبُّ إِلِيَّ مِنْ شَاتَيْ لَحْمٍ قَالَ فَرَخَّصَ لَهُ قَالَ فَلَا أَدْرِي أَبَلَغَتِ الرُّخْصَةُ مَنْ سِوَاهُ أَمْ لَا  

[Machine] Ibn Ulayyah mentioned it with his chain of narration, similar to it. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to two rams and slaughtered them. The people then went to the spoils and distributed them or he said they rejoiced over them.  

ثنا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ فَذَكَرَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ مِثْلَهُ زَادَ ثُمَّ انْكَفَأَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى كَبْشَيْنِ فَذَبَحَهُمَا فَقَامَ النَّاسُ إِلَى غَنِيمَةٍ فَتَوَزَّعُوهَا أَوْ قَالَ تَجَزَّعُوهَا  

[Machine] "And that he, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him, mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah and ordered him to return for another sacrifice."  

وَأَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ذَلِكَ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَعُودَ لِضَحِيَّةٍ أُخْرَى  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day of Eid al-Adha claimed that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded him to go back for another sacrifice. Abu Burdah said, "I only found a stump." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Even if you only find a stump, then slaughter it." Ash-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, narrated these two hadiths from Malik, may Allah have mercy on him. 19027 Then he said, "Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz did not inform us. Abu Abbas Muhammad ibn Ya'qub informed us. An-Nawbah ibn Sulaiman reported: Ash-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said, "It is possible that he was commanded to go back for another sacrifice, because the sacrifice before the appointed time is not a valid sacrifice that fulfills the requirement. Therefore, it would be counted among those who sacrifice." We found the evidence from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that the sacrifice is not obligatory, but it is recommended to perform it and it is disliked to leave it, not because it is obligatory. If it is asked, "Where is the Sunnah that indicates that it is not obligatory?" It is said, "We were informed by Sufyan from Abdur Rahman ibn Humaid from Sa'id ibn Al-Musayyib from Umm Salamah, who said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'When the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah come and one of you wants to sacrifice, let him not touch his hair or skin until he sacrifices.'" Ash-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said, "This hadith indicates that the sacrifice is not obligatory, because if it were obligatory, it would be more appropriate for him to say, 'Let him not touch his hair until he sacrifices.'" The sheikh said, "And in the authentic hadith narrated by Al-Bara' ibn Azib, he said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed us on the day of sacrifice and said, 'The first thing we begin with on this day of ours is to pray, then we return and sacrifice. Whoever does that has followed our Sunnah.' And that is mentioned in the chapter regarding the time of sacrifice."  

رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْأَضْحَى فَزَعَمَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَعُودَ لِضَحِيَّةٍ أُخْرَى فَقَالَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ لَا أَجِدُ إِلَّا جَذَعًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدْ إِلَّا جَذَعًا فَاذْبَحْ ذَكَرَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ هَذَيْنِ الْحَدِيثَيْنِ عَنْ مَالِكٍ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ 19027 ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ أَنْبَأَ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ فَاحْتُمِلَ أَنْ يَكُونَ إِنَّمَا أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَعُودَ لِضَحِيَّةٍ أَنَّ الضَّحِيَّةَ وَاجِبَةٌ وَاحْتَمَلَ أَمْرُهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَعُودَ إِنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُضَحِّيَ؛ لَأَنَّ الضَّحِيَّةَ قَبْلَ الْوَقْتِ لَيْسَتْ بِضَحِيَّةٍ تُجْزِيهِ فَيَكُونُ مِنْ عِدَادِ مَنْ ضَحَّى فَوَجَدْنَا الدَّلَالَةَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّ الضَّحِيَّةَ لَيْسَتْ بِوَاجِبَةٍ لَا يَحِلُّ تَرْكُهَا وَهِيَ سُنَّةٌ نُحِبُّ لُزُومَهَا وَنَكْرَهُ تَرْكَهَا لَا عَلَى إِيجَابِهَا فَإِنْ قِيلَ فَأَيْنَ السُّنَّةُ الَّتِي دَلَّتْ عَلَى أَنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِوَاجِبَةٍ قِيلَ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ؓ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا دَخَلَ الْعَشْرُ فَأَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يُضَحِّيَ فَلَا يَمَسَّ مِنْ شَعْرِهِ وَلَا مِنْ بَشَرِهِ شَيْئًا قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَفِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ دَلَالَةٌ عَلَى أَنَّ الضَّحِيَّةَ لَيْسَتْ بِوَاجِبَةٍ؛ لِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يُضَحِّيَ وَلَوْ كَانَتِ الضَّحِيَّةُ وَاجِبَةً أَشْبَهَ أَنْ يَقُولَ فَلَا يَمَسَّ مِنْ شَعْرِهِ حَتَّى يُضَحِّيَ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَفِي الْحَدِيثِ الثَّابِتِ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ ؓ قَالَ خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا نَبْدَأُ بِهِ فِي يَوْمِنَا هَذَا أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ ثُمَّ نَرْجِعَ فَنَنْحَرَ فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ أَصَابَ سُنَّتَنَا وَذَلِكَ مَذْكُورٌ فِي بَابِ وَقْتِ الْأُضْحِيَّةِ  

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I have been commanded to celebrate Eid al-Adha, which Allah has made for this Ummah. But if I can only find the scent of my father's perfume or the sheep of my father and my family, can I sacrifice them?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "No, but trim your nails, shave your mustache, and shorten your hair. That is the complete sacrifice in the sight of Allah." (Hadith 19029) And Abu Abdullah granted me permission. Abu al-Abbas Muhammad ibn Ya'qub narrated to us, Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Abd al-Hakam narrated to us, who reported it from Ibn Wahb, and he mentioned it with its chain of narration.  

رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أُمِرْتُ بِيَوْمِ الْأَضْحَى عِيدًا جَعَلَهُ اللهُ لِهَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ فَإِنْ لَمْ أَجِدْ إِلَّا مَنِيحَةَ أَبِي أَوْ شَاةَ أَبِي وَأَهْلِي وَمَنِيحَتَهُمْ أَذْبَحُهَا؟ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنْ قَلِّمْ أَظْفَارَكَ وَقُصَّ شَارِبَكَ وَاحْلِقْ عَانَتَكَ فَذَلِكَ تَمَامُ أُضْحِيَّتِكَ عِنْدَ اللهِ ﷻ 19029 وَأَنْبَانِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ إِجَازَةً ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ أنبأ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ فَذَكَرَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ مِثْلَهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "There are three obligations upon me, and you have voluntary acts of worship: performing the sacrifice, praying the Witr prayer, and performing the two Rak'ahs of Dhuha (forenoon prayer)."  

رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ ثَلَاثٌ هُنَّ عَلَيَّ فَرَائِضُ وَلَكُمْ تَطَوُّعٌ النَّحْرُ وَالْوِتْرُ وَرَكْعَتَا الضُّحَى  

[Machine] "The sacrifice was prescribed for me, but it was not prescribed for you," al-Asbahani mentioned in his narration. "I was commanded to pray the duha (forenoon) prayer, but you were not commanded to do so," they said about Simak.  

كُتِبَ عَلَيَّ النَّحْرُ وَلَمْ يُكْتَبْ عَلَيْكُمْ زَادَ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ وَأُمِرْتُ بِصَلَاةِ الضُّحَى وَلَمْ تُؤْمَرُوا بِهَا كَذَا قَالَا عَنْ سِمَاكٍ  

And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves. (Using translation from Qurʾān 84:23)   

النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ  

[Machine] He ﷺ prayed for the people on the day of sacrifice. When he finished his sermon and prayer, he called for a sheep and slaughtered it himself, saying, "In the name of Allah, Allah is the Greatest. O Allah, this is from me and from those who did not sacrifice from my Ummah." This narration is reported by Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri, Abu Hurairah, and Anas bin Malik from the Prophet ﷺ in its meaning. Al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said that we were informed that Abu Bakr and Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) disliked being followed in this matter, so whoever saw them may assume that it is not obligatory.  

ﷺ صَلَّى لِلنَّاسِ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ خُطْبَتِهِ وَصَلَاتِهِ دَعَا بِكَبْشٍ فَذَبَحَهُ هُوَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَقَالَ بِسْمِ اللهِ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُمَّ عَنِّي وَعَمَّنْ لَمْ يُضَحِّ مِنْ أُمَّتِي وَرُوِيَ ذَلِكَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ؓ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمَعْنَاهُ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَبَلَغَنَا أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ وَعُمَرَ ؓ كَانَا لَا يُضَحِّيَانِ كَرَاهِيَةَ أَنْ يُقْتَدَى بِهِمَا فَيَظُنُّ مَنْ رَآهُمَا أَنَّهَا وَاجِبَةٌ  

[Machine] I saw Abu Bakr and Umar and they did not sacrifice in some of their conversations; Abdu Sariha al-Ghifari, Huzaifah bin Usaid, the companion of the Prophet (PBUH), imitated them with dislike.  

أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَوْ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ ؓ كَانَا لَا يُضَحِّيَانِ فِي بَعْضِ حَدِيثِهِمْ كَرَاهِيَةَ أَنْ يُقْتَدَى بِهِمَا أَبُو سَرِيحَةَ الْغِفَارِيُّ هُوَ حُذَيْفَةُ بْنُ أُسَيْدٍ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ  

[Machine] Abu 'Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami, in what I have read from him, mentioned that Abu Ishaq al-Bazari narrated to us, who was narrated by Abu al-Husayn al-Ghazi, who was narrated by 'Amr ibn 'Ali who said, "I asked Yahya ibn Sa'id and he said: Mu'tamir informed us, who said: Isma'il narrated to us, who narrated from Mutarraf, who narrated from al-Sha'bi, who narrated from Abu Sarihah who said, 'This is similar to his narration from al-Sha'bi, from 'Amr al-Jamali, meaning 'Amr ibn Murrah. Isma'il narrated to us and 'Amir mentioned it, meaning Yahya made a mistake in this as he did in that. The narration of Sufyan al-Thawri confirms the statement of Yahya." Al-Shafi'i also said, "And from Ibn 'Abbas..."  

أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيُّ فِيمَا قَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِ أنبأ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ الْبِزَارِيُّ ثنا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ الْغَازِيُّ ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِيَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ إِنَّ مُعْتَمِرًا حَدَّثَنَا قَالَ ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ثنا مُطَرِّفٌ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَرِيحَةَ فَقَالَ هَذَا مِثْلُ حَدِيثِهِ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ عَمْرٍو الْجَمَلِيِّ يُرِيدُ عَمْرَو بْنَ مُرَّةَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ أنبأ عَامِرٌ فَذَكَرَهُ يُرِيدُ يَحْيَى أَنَّهُ أَخْطَأَ فِي هَذَا كَمَا أَخْطَأَ فِي ذَلِكَ وَرِوَايَةُ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ تُؤَكِّدُ قَوْلَ يَحْيَى قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ  

[Machine] Adha the son of Abbas.  

أَضْحَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ  

[Machine] "It is necessary for me."  

أَنَّهُ حَتْمٌ عَلَيَّ  

[Machine] "It is an inevitable fate upon her."  

أَنَّهَا عَلَيْهَا حَتْمٌ وَاجِبٌ  

[Machine] I hate or avoid doubting the clarity of uncovered nakedness, the clarity of evident lameness, the clarity of evident illness, and the clarity of evident emaciation. Then Ibn Umar said to him, "Perhaps you think it is obligatory?" I said, "No, but it is a reward, goodness, and a sunnah." He said, "Yes." Al-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said, "And the saying does not exceed the context of the sacrifice, or it may be obligatory, and it is upon every person, young or old, and it does not suffice except for a sheep for each individual."  

أَكْرَهُ أَوِ اجْتَنِبْ شَكَّ وَهْبِ الْعُورَ الْبَيِّنَ عَوَرُهَا وَالْعَرْجَاءَ الْبَيِّنَ عَرَجُهَا وَالْمَرِيضَةَ الْبَيِّنَ مَرَضُهَا وَالْمَهْزُولَةَ الْبَيِّنَ هُزَالُهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ لَعَلَّكَ تَحْسَبُ حَتْمًا؟ قُلْتُ لَا وَلَكِنَّهُ أَجْرٌ وَخَيْرٌ وَسُنَّةٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَلَا يَعْدُو الْقَوْلُ فِي الضَّحَايَا هَذَا أَوْ تَكُونُ وَاجِبَةً فَهِيَ عَلَى كُلِّ أَحَدٍ صَغِيرٍ وَكَبِيرٍ لَا يُجْزِي غَيْرُ شَاةٍ عَنْ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ  

When any one of you intending to sacrifice the animal enters in the month (of Dhu'l-Hijja) he should not get his hair or nails touched (cut). It was said to Sufyan that some of the (scholars) did not deem this hadith to be Maffu'. He said: But I deem it as Marfu' (i. e. chain of narration traceable right up to the Holy Prophet). (Using translation from Muslim 1977c)   

رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا دَخَلَ الْعَشْرُ وَأَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يُضَحِّيَ فَلَا يَمَسَّ مِنْ شَعْرِهِ وَلَا بَشَرِهِ شَيْئًا قِيلَ لِسُفْيَانَ فَإِنَّ بَعْضَهُمْ لَا يَرْفَعُهُ قَالَ لَكِنِّي أَرْفَعُهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When the ten days of Dhul Hijjah begin and one of you intends to offer a sacrifice, let him refrain from cutting his hair and nails."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا دَخَلَ الْعَشْرُ فَأَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يُضَحِّيَ فَلْيُمْسِكْ عَنْ شَعْرِهِ وَأَظْفَارِهِ  

[Machine] "O son of my brother, this is a hadith that has been forgotten and left. Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, told me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whoever has a sacrificial animal and intends to sacrifice it, then when the crescent moon of Dhul-Hijjah appears, let him not touch any of his hair or nails until he has sacrificed it.'"  

يَا ابْنَ أَخِي هَذَا حَدِيثٌ قَدْ نُسِيَ وَتُرِكَ حَدَّثَتْنِي أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ ذَبْحٌ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَذْبَحَهُ فَإِذَا أَهَلَّ هِلَالُ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ فَلَا يَمَسَّ مِنْ شَعْرِهِ وَلَا ظُفُرِهِ شَيْئًا حَتَّى يُضَحِّيَ  

[Machine] Is there any obligation? It means taking from the hair and nails. It was said that Malik narrated from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr from Amrah from Aisha, she said, "I braided the necklaces of the gift of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with my own hands, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ braided them with his own hands, and then he sent them with my father and nothing was forbidden for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that Allah made lawful for him until he slaughtered the sacrifice." Al-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said, "In this there is evidence for what I described and that a person is not prohibited by the mission with his sacrifice."  

لَا وَاجِبٌ؟ يَعْنِي الْأَخْذَ مِنَ الشَّعْرِ وَالظُّفُرِ قِيلَ لَهُ رَوَى مَالِكٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ عَمْرَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ قَالَتْ أَنَا فَتَلْتُ قَلَائِدَ هَدْيِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِيَدِي ثُمَّ قَلَّدَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ بَعَثَ بِهَا مَعَ أَبِي فَلَمْ يَحْرُمْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ شَيْءٌ أَحَلَّ اللهُ لَهُ حَتَّى نَحَرَ الْهَدْيَ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَفِي هَذِهِ دَلَالَةٌ عَلَى مَا وَصَفْتُ وَعَلَى أَنَّ الْمَرْءَ لَا يُحْرِمُ بِالْبِعْثَةِ بِهَدْيِهِ يَقُولُ الْبِعْثَةُ بِالْهَدْيِ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ إِرَادَةِ الضَّحِيَّةِ  

I twisted the garlands of the Hadis (i.e. animals for sacrifice) of Messenger of Allah ﷺ with my own hands. Then Messenger of Allah ﷺ put them around their necks with his own hands, and sent them with my father (to Mecca). Nothing legal was regarded illegal for Messenger of Allah ﷺ till the animals were slaughtered. (Using translation from Bukhārī 2317)   

أَنَا فَتَلْتُ قَلَائِدَ هَدْيِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِيَدِي ثُمَّ قَلَّدَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِيَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ بَعَثَ بِهَا مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَحْرُمْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ شَيْءٌ كَانَ أَحَلَّهُ اللهُ لَهُ حَتَّى نَحَرَ الْهَدْيَ أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ مَالِكٍ  

The Prophet ﷺ ordered a horned ram with black legs, black belly and black round the eyes, and it was brought from him to sacrifice. He said: 'Aishah, get the knife then he said: Sharpen it with a stone. So I did. He took it, then take the ram he placed it on the ground and slaughtered it. He then said: In the name of Allah. O Allah, accept it for Muhammad, Muhammad's family and Muhammad's people. Then he sacrificed it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2792)   

رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَرَ بِكَبْشٍ أَقْرَنَ يَطَأُ فِي سَوَادٍ وَيَنْظُرُ فِي سَوَادٍ وَيَبْرُكُ فِي سَوَادٍ فَأُتِيَ بِهِ لِيُضَحِّيَ بِهِ فَقَالَ يَا عَائِشَةُ هَلُمِّي الْمُدْيَةَ ثُمَّ قَالَ اشْحَذِيهَا بِحَجَرٍ فَفَعَلْتُ فَأَخَذَهَا وَأَخَذَ الْكَبْشَ وَأَضْجَعَهُ وَذَبَحَهُ وَقَالَ بِسْمِ اللهِ اللهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَمِنْ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ثُمَّ ضَحَّى بِهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to be brought two rams in the morning, with black legs, salted and standing with their horns. He would slaughter one of them on behalf of his ummah who testified to the oneness of Allah and testified to him as a Messenger. And he would slaughter the other ram on behalf of Muhammad and the family of Muhammad. In another narration, when it was morning, he would buy two fat rams with black legs, salted and standing with their horns. This was mentioned by Hammad ibn Salamah, from Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn Aqil, from Abdul Rahman ibn Jabir, from his father. And it was narrated by Zuhair ibn Muhammad, from Abdullah, from Ali ibn Hussain, from Abu Rafi'. And it is as if he heard it from the two of them.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا ضَحَّى أُتِيَ بِكَبْشَيْنِ أَقْرَنَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ مَوْجُوءَيْنِ فَيَذْبَحُ أَحَدَهُمَا عَنْ أُمَّتِهِ مَنْ شَهِدَ لِلَّهِ بِالتَّوْحِيدِ وَشَهِدَ لَهُ بِالْبَلَاغِ وَيَذْبَحُ الْآخَرَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ الْفِرْيَابِيِّ إِذَا ضَحَّى اشْتَرَى كَبْشَيْنِ سَمِينَيْنِ أَقْرَنَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ مَوْجُوءَيْنِ فَذَكَرَهُ وَرَوَاهُ حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَرَوَاهُ زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ فَكَأَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ مِنْهُمَا  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was brought two huge, dark, horned rams, so he laid down one of them and said, “In the name of Allah, and Allah is the greatest. O Allah, this is on behalf of Muhammad.” Then he laid down the other one and said, “In the name of Allah, and Allah is the greatest. O Allah, this is on behalf of Muhammad and his Ummah, from among those who have testified to Your oneness and testified to my Prophethood.” Then he slaughtered it.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أُتِيَ بِكَبْشَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ أَقْرَنَيْنِ عَظِيمَيْنِ مَوْجُوءَيْنِ فَأَضْجَعَ أَحَدَهُمَا فَقَالَ بِسْمِ اللهِ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُمَّ هَذَا عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ثُمَّ أَضْجَعَ الْآخَرَ فَقَالَ بِسْمِ اللهِ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُمَّ هَذَا عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَأُمَّتِهِ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ لَكَ بِالتَّوْحِيدِ وَشَهِدَ لِي بِالْبَلَاغِ فَذَبَحَهُ  

[Machine] From Abu Rafa', the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to buy two fat rams when he performed the sacrifice (on Eid al-Adha). He would slaughter one of them himself with his own hand, saying, "This is on behalf of my Ummah, everyone who testifies to your Oneness and testifies to my Prophethood." Then he would bring the other ram and slaughter it, saying, "O Allah, this is on behalf of Muhammad and the family of Muhammad." He would then distribute the meat among the poor, while he and his family would eat from it. We remained in this state for several years. Allah sufficed us with provisions and removed any need for financial assistance from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . No one from the Banu Hashim (his tribe) would sacrifice (any animals) after that.  

عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا ضَحَّى اشْتَرَى كَبْشَيْنِ سَمِينَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ أَقْرَنَيْنِ فَإِذَا خَطَبَ وَصَلَّى قَامَ فِي مُصَلَّاهُ فَذَبَحَ أَحَدَ الْكَبْشَيْنِ هُوَ بِنَفْسِهِ بِالْحَرْبَةِ وَيَقُولُ هَذَا عَنْ أُمَّتِي جَمِيعًا مَنْ شَهِدَ لَكَ بِالتَّوْحِيدِ وَشَهِدَ لِي بِالْبَلَاغِ ثُمَّ أَتَى بِالْآخَرِ فَذَبَحَهُ قَالَ اللهُمَّ هَذَا عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ثُمَّ يُطْعِمُهَا جَمِيعًا لِلْمَسَاكِينِ وَيَأْكُلُ هُوَ وَأَهْلُهُ مِنْهُمَا فَمَكَثْنَا سِنِينَ قَدْ كَفَى اللهُ الْمُؤْنَةَ وَالْغُرْمَ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ يُضَحِّي  

[Machine] I was one of seven with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to each contribute a dirham. So we bought a sacrificial animal with seven dirhams. We said, "O Messenger of Allah, we have paid a high price for it." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, the best sacrifice is the most expensive and the dearest to its owner." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded a man to hold it by the hand, another man by the hand, another man by the leg, another man by the horn, another man by the horn, and the seventh man slaughtered it, and we all said the Takbir (Allahu Akbar) over it.  

كُنْتُ سَابِعَ سَبْعَةٍ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَمَعَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا دِرْهَمًا فَاشْتَرَيْنَا أُضْحِيَّةً بِسَبْعَةِ دَرَاهِمَ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَقَدْ أَغْلَيْنَا بِهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ أَفْضَلَ الضَّحَايَا أَغْلَاهَا وَأَنْفَسُهَا فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَجُلًا يَأْخُذُ بِيَدٍ وَرَجُلًا بِيَدٍ وَرَجُلًا بِرِجْلٍ وَرَجُلًا بِقَرْنٍ وَرَجُلًا بِقَرْنٍ وَذَبَحَهَا السَّابِعُ وَكَبَّرْنَا عَلَيْهَا جَمِيعًا  

[Machine] I was seventh among seven with the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ . He commanded us, so each of us gathered a dirham and we bought a sacrificial animal with seven dirhams. He ordered that it be taken, and he mentioned the hadith. He said: "The rest of it." I said to Hammad ibn Zaid, "Who is the seventh?" He said, "I do not know." I said, "The Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ ."  

كُنْتُ سَابِعَ سَبْعَةٍ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَمَرَنَا فَجَمَعَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا دِرْهَمًا فَاشْتَرَيْنَا أُضْحِيَّةً بِسَبْعَةِ دَرَاهِمَ وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ بَقِيَّةُ قُلْتُ لِحَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ مَنِ السَّابِعُ؟ قَالَ لَا أَدْرِي قُلْتُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ  

who was born during the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ that his mother, Zainab bint Humaid had taken him to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Take his Pledge of allegiance (for Islam)." The Prophet ﷺ said, "He (ʿAbdullah bin Hisham) is a little child," and passed his hand over his head and invoked Allah for him. ʿAbdullah bin Hisham used to slaughter one sheep as a sacrifice on behalf of all of his family. (Using translation from Bukhārī 7210)   

عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ هِشَامٍ وَكَانَ قَدْ أَدْرَكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَهَبَتْ بِهِ أُمُّهُ زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ حُمَيْدٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ بَايِعْهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هُوَ صَغِيرٌ فَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ وَدَعَا لَهُ قَالَ وَكَانَ يُضَحِّي بِالشَّاةِ الْوَاحِدَةِ عَنْ جَمِيعِ أَهْلِهِ  

[Machine] And about his household, then the people began to boast, and it became a competition.  

وَعَنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ ثُمَّ تَبَاهَى النَّاسُ بَعْدُ فَصَارَتْ مُبَاهَاةً  

[Machine] "From his family, with a sheep."  

عَنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ بِشَاةٍ  

“My family started to put pressure on me after I came to know the Sunnah. People used to sacrifice one or two sheep, but now our neighbors call us stingy.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3148)   

حَمَلَنِي أَهْلِي عَلَى الْجَفَاءِ بَعْدَ مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ كَانَ أَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ يُضَحُّونَ بِالشَّاةِ فَالْآنَ يُبَخِّلُنَا جِيرَانُنَا يَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ ضَحِيَّةٌ  

[Machine] Abu Huraira used to bring the sheep and his family would ask: 'And what about us?' And he would reply: 'And what about you?'  

كَانَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ يَجِيءُ بِالشَّاةِ فَيَقُولُ أَهْلُهُ وَعَنَّا؟ فَيَقُولُ وَعَنْكُمْ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Sacrifice only a full-grown animal unless it is difficult for you, in which case sacrifice a lamb. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2797)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَذْبَحُوا إِلَّا مُسِنَّةً إِلَّا أَنْ يَعْسَرَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَتَذْبَحُوا جَذَعَةً مِنَ الضَّأْنِ
