[Machine] Narrated by Abu Rafi', the servant of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the morning sacrifice (Dhuhur), he would buy two fat male rams, both intact and of similar age. Then, after he finished praying and delivering his sermon to the people, he would bring one of them while he was standing in his prayer area, slaughter it himself with his own hands using a sharp-edged piece of metal and say, "O Allah, this is on behalf of my entire Ummah (nation), from among those who testify Your Oneness (Tawheed) and bear witness to my Prophethood (balagh). Then the other ram would be brought, and he would slaughter it himself, saying, "This is on behalf of Muhammad and the family of Muhammad." Then both rams would be distributed to the poor, and he and his family would eat from them. We remained for many years without a man from Bani Hashim performing the sacrifice. Allah had sufficed the Prophet ﷺ and his family with a hundred rams.  

عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا ضَحَّى اشْتَرَى كَبْشَيْنِ سَمِينَيْنِ أَقْرَنَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ فَإِذَا صَلَّى وَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ أَتَى بِأَحَدِهِمَا وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ فِي مُصَلَّاهُ فَذَبَحَهُ بِنَفْسِهِ بِالْمُدْيَةِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ هَذَا عَنْ أُمَّتِي جَمِيعًا مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ لَكَ بِالتَّوْحِيدِ وَشَهِدَ لِي بِالْبَلَاغِ ثُمَّ يُؤْتَى بِالْآخَرِ فَيَذْبَحُهُ بِنَفْسِهِ وَيَقُولُ هَذَا عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ فَيُطْعِمُهُمَا جَمِيعًا الْمَسَاكِينَ وَيَأْكُلُ هُوَ وَأَهْلُهُ مِنْهُمَا فَمَكَثْنَا سِنِينَ لَيْسَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ يُضَحِّي قَدْ كَفَاهُ اللهُ الْمَئُونَةَ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَالْغُرْمَ  

[Machine] The following passage translates to: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to purchase two fattened, healthy, and matching male sheep when he performed the Eid sacrifice. When he would address the people and lead the prayers, he would bring one of them and sacrifice it with his own hands using a sharp knife. Then, he would say, 'This is on behalf of my entire Ummah, whoever testifies to your Oneness and testifies for me.' After that, he would bring the second sheep and sacrifice it with his own hands, saying, 'O Allah, this is for Muhammad and the family of Muhammad.' He would then distribute the meat among the poor, and both he and his family would consume from it."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا ضَحَّى اشْتَرَى كَبْشَيْنِ سَمِينَيْنِ أَقْرَنَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ حَتَّى إِذَا خَطَبَ النَّاسَ وَصَلَّى أَتَى بِأَحَدِهِمَا وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ فِي مُصَلَّاهُ فَذَبَحَهُ بِنَفْسِهِ بِالْمُدْيَةِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ «هَذَا عَنْ أُمَّتِي جَمِيعًا مَنْ شَهِدَ لَكَ بِالتَّوْحِيدِ وَشَهِدَ لِي بِالْبَلَاغِ» ثُمَّ يُؤْتَى بِالْآخَرِ فَيَذْبَحُهُ هُوَ بِنَفْسِهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ «اللهُمَّ هَذَا عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ» فَيُعْطِيهِمْ جَمِيعًا الْمَسَاكِينَ وَأَكَلَ هُوَ وَأَهْلُهُ مِنْهُمَا  

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad, ﷺ , used to bring two fat, horned, and salted rams when he performed the Eid prayer. After delivering the sermon and making the salutations, he would slaughter one of them while standing in his prayer place, saying, "O Allah, this is on behalf of my Ummah, anyone who testifies to Your Oneness and believes in my message." Then, he would bring the other ram and slaughter it himself, saying, "O Allah, this is on behalf of Muhammad and the family of Muhammad." He would eat from both of them and feed his family and the poor people. This continued for many years, and no man from the Banu Hashim family would slaughter a ram, as Allah had provided for them through the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ .  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا ضَحَّى أَتَى بِكَبْشَيْنِ سَمِينَيْنِ أَقْرَنَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ مُوجِبَيْنِ حَتَّى إِذَا خَطَبَ النَّاسَ وَسَلَّمَ وَفَرَغَ أَتَى بِأَحَدِهِمَا وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ فِي مُصَلَّاهُ فَذَبَحَهُ بِنَفْسِهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ «اللهُمَّ هَذَا عَنْ أُمَّتِي مَنْ شَهِدَ لَكَ بِالتَّوْحِيدِ وَلِي بِالْبَلَاغِ» ثُمَّ يُؤْتَى بِالْآخَرِ فَيَذْبَحُهُ هُوَ بِنَفْسِهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ «اللهُمَّ هَذَا عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ» وَيَأْكُلُ هُوَ وَأَهْلُهُ مِنْهُمَا وَيُطْعِمُهُمَا جَمِيعًا لِلْمَسَاكِينِ فَمَكَثْنَا سِنِينَ لَيْسَ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ رَجُلٌ يُضَحِّي قَدْ كَفَاهُ اللهُ ﷻ الْمُؤْنَةَ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ  

[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] 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
