[Machine] Jibril, ﷺ , came to the Prophet ﷺ on the day of Eid al-Adha and asked, "How do you see our sacrifices?" The Prophet replied, "The people of the heavens take delight in it." Jibril then informed him, "O Muhammad, know that the sacrifice of a young sheep is better than the sacrifice of a camel or a cow. If Allah had known of a better sacrifice, He would have commanded Ibrahim, ﷺ , to offer it. Abu Ja'far al-Sammani also narrated a similar hadith from Ishaq, in which he added that the sacrifice of a young sheep is better than the sacrifice of a goat, and Ishaq mentioned this in his narration even though it has a weak chain of narration."
جَاءَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْأَضْحَى فَقَالَ كَيْفَ رَأَيْتَ نُسُكَنَا هَذَا؟ قَالَ لَقَدْ بَاهَى بِهِ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ وَاعْلَمْ يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَنَّ الْجَذَعَ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الثَّنِيَّةِ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ وَالْبَقَرِ وَلَوْ عَلِمَ اللهُ ذَبْحًا أَفْضَلَ مِنْهُ لَفَدَى بِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَرَوَاهُ أَيْضًا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ السِّمْنَانِيُّ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ زَادَ فِيهِ وَالْجَذَعُ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الثَّنِيَّةِ مِنَ الْمَعْزِ وَإِسْحَاقُ يَنْفَرِدُ بِهِ وَفِي حَدِيثِهِ ضَعْفٌ
