6. Book of Sacrifices
٦۔ كِتَابُ الْأَضَاحِيِّ
"The Messenger of Allah sacrificed two horned, Amlah rams, saying: 'Allah Akbar and pronouncing the Name of Allah. I saw him slaughtering them with his own hand, and placing his foot on their sides." I said: You heard it from Him? He said: Yes. (Sahih ) (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4415)
«ضَحَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِكَبْشَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ أَقْرَنَيْنِ وَيُسَمِّي وَيُكَبِّرُ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ يَذْبَحُهُمَا بِيَدِهِ وَاضِعًا عَلَى صِفَاحِهِمَا قَدَمَهُ» قُلْتُ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sacrificed two rams on the Day of ‘Eid. When he turned them to face towards the prayer direction he said: ‘Verily, I have turned my face towards Him Who has created the heavens and the earth, as a monotheist, and I am not of the polytheists. Verily, my prayer, my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of all that exists. He has no partner. And of this I have been commanded, and I am the first of the Muslims. [6:79,162-163] O Allah, from You to You, on behalf of Muhammad and his nation.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3121)
ضَحَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِكَبْشَيْنِ فِي يَوْمِ الْعِيدِ فَقَالَ حِينَ وَجَّهَهُمَا «إِنِّي وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِي فَطَرَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ حَنِيفًا وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ إِنَّ صَلَاتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَاتِي لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَبِذَلِكَ أُمِرْتُ وَأَنَا أَوَّلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ هَذَا مِنْكَ وَلَكَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَأُمَّتِهِ» ثُمَّ سَمَّى اللَّهَ وَكَبَّرَ وَذَبَحَ
