[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The ten days of Dhul Hijjah, the Day of Arafah, and the Day of Sacrifice (Eid al-Adha) are the ten nights." [Surah Al-Fajr, verse 1].  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ {وَالْفَجْرِ وَلِيَالٍ عَشْرٍ} [الفجر 1] «عَشْرُ الْأُضْحِيَّةِ وَالْوِتْرُ يَوْمُ عَرَفَةَ وَالشَّفْعُ يَوْمُ النَّحْرِ»  

"Whoever sees the new crescent of Dhul-Hijjah and wants to offer a sacrifice, let him not remove any of his hair or nails until he has offered the sacrifice." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4361)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ رَأَى هِلَالَ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُضَحِّيَ فَلَا يَأْخُذْ مِنْ ظُفْرِهِ وَلَا مِنْ شَعْرِهِ حَتَّى يُضَحِّيَ»  

[Machine] "When the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah have started, do not trim your hair or nails until you have sacrificed your animal. This is an authentic narration from the hadith of Malik, although the summary does not mention it."  

«إِذَا دَخَلَ عَشْرُ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ فَلَا تَأْخُذَنَّ مِنْ شَعْرِكَ وَلَا مِنْ أَظْفَارَكَ حَتَّى تُذْبَحُ أُضْحِيَّتِكَ» هَذَا شَاهِدٌ صَحِيحٌ لِحَدِيثِ مَالِكٍ وَإِنْ كَانَ مَوْقُوفًا سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] "If you had delayed it until the day of sacrifice, it would have been better." Az-Zahabi remained silent about it in summarizing.  

«لَوْ أَخَّرْتِيهِ إِلَى يَوْمِ النَّحْرِ كَانَ أَحْسَنَ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] Regarding the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , Al-Dhahabi remained silent in summarizing.  

عَنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺسكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

The Prophet ﷺ said: The greatest day in Allah's sight is the day of sacrifice and next the day of resting which Isa said on the authority of Thawr is the second day. Five or six sacrificial camels were brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and they began to draw near to see which he would sacrifice first. When they fell down dead, he said something in a low voice, which I could not catch. So I asked: What did he say? He was told that he had said: Anyone who wants can cut off a piece. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1765)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَعْظَمُ الْأَيَّامِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ يَوْمُ النَّحْرِ ثُمَّ يَوْمُ الْقُرَّ» وَقَدِمَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بَدَنَاتٌ خَمْسٌ أَوْ سِتٌّ فَطَفِقْنَ يَزْدَلِفْنَ بِأَيَّتِهِنَّ يَبْدَأُ بِهَا فَلَمَّا وَجَبَتْ جُنُوبُهَا قَالَ كَلِمَةً خَفِيفَةً لَمْ أَفْهَمْهَا فَسَأَلْتُ مَنْ يَلِيهِ فَقَالَ قَالَ «مَنْ شَاءَ اقْتَطَعَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is nothing that can bring you closer to Allah Almighty on the Day of Sacrifice than the shedding of blood. It is more beloved to Allah Almighty than the sacrificing of camels, as their meat, hair, and hooves will all be brought on the Day of Resurrection, but the blood will reach Allah Almighty in a place before it reaches the ground. So, purify yourselves with it."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا تُقُرِّبَ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ بِشَيْءٍ هُوَ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهُ تَعَالَى مِنْ إِهْرَاقِ الدَّمِ وَأَنَّهَا لَتَأْتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِقُرُونِهَا وَأَشْعَارِهَا وَأَظْلَافِهَا وَأَنَّ الدَّمَ لَيَقَعُ مِنَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِمَكَانٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقَعَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ فَيَطِيبُوا بِهَا نَفْسًا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Fatimah, go to your sacrificial animal and bear witness to it, for with the first drop of its blood, all the sins you have committed will be forgiven. And say, 'Indeed, my prayer, my rites of sacrifice, my life, and my death are for Allah, the Lord of the worlds. He has no partner. And with this, I have been commanded and I am of the Muslims.'" Imran said, "O Messenger of Allah, is this for you and your household specifically, or for the Muslims in general?" He replied, "No, rather it is for the Muslims in general."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَا فَاطِمَةُ قَوْمِي إِلَى أُضْحِيَّتِكَ فَاشْهَدِيهَا فَإِنَّهُ يُغْفَرُ لَكِ عِنْدَ أَوَّلِ قَطْرَةٍ تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دَمِهَا كُلُّ ذَنْبٍ عَمِلْتِيهِ وَقُولِي إِنَّ صَلَاتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَاتِي لِلَّهُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَبِذَلِكَ أُمِرْتُ وَأَنَا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَالَ عِمْرَانُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا لَكَ وَلِأَهْلِ بَيْتِكِ خَاصَّةً فَأَهَلَّ ذَاكَ أَنْتُمْ أَمْ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ عَامَّةً؟ قَالَ «لَا بَلْ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ عَامَّةً»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her), "Go to your sacrifice and witness it, for with the first drop of blood that falls from it, your previous sins will be forgiven." She asked, "O Messenger of Allah, is this specific to us, the people of the household, or is it for all Muslims in general?" He replied, "No, it is for us and for all Muslims in general."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِفَاطِمَةَ عَلَيْهَا الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ «قَوْمِي إِلَى أُضْحِيَّتِكَ فَاشْهَدِيهَا فَإِنَّ لَكِ بِأَوَّلِ قَطْرَةٍ تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دَمِهَا يُغْفَرُ لَكِ مَا سَلَفَ مِنْ ذُنُوبُكَ» قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا لَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ خَاصَّةً أَوْ لَنَا وَلِلْمُسْلِمِينَ عَامَّةً؟ قَالَ «بَلْ لَنَا وَلِلْمُسْلِمِينَ عَامَّةً» عطية واه  

[Machine] Gabriel, peace be upon him, descended to the Prophet, may peace and blessings be upon him, and the Prophet, may peace and blessings be upon him, said to him, "O Gabriel, how did you find our feast?" Gabriel replied, "The people of the heavens were marveling at it. Know, O Muhammad, that a lamb's leg is better than the master of goats, and a lamb's leg is better than the master of cows, and a lamb's leg is better than the master of camels. If Allah had known of a better sacrifice than it, Ibrahim, peace be upon him, would have offered it."  

نَزَلَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «يَا جِبْرِيلُ كَيْفَ رَأَيْتَ عِيدَنَا؟» فَقَالَ لَقَدْ تَبَاهَى بِهِ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ اعْلَمْ يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَنَّ الْجَذَعَ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ السَّيِّدِ مِنَ الْمَعْزِ وَأَنَّ الْجَذَعَ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ السَّيِّدِ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ وَأَنَّ الْجَذَعَ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ السَّيِّدِ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ وَلَوْ عَلِمَ اللَّهُ ذَبْحًا خَيْرًا مِنْهُ فَدَى بِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ  

[Machine] He said: "Indeed, we dislike flaws in speech and hearing." So Bara'a said to him: "Dislike for yourself whatever you wish, but do not prohibit it for others." Bara'a said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "There are four things that are not permissible as sacrificial animals: the one that is clearly blind, the one that has a clear injury in its limbs, the one that is clearly sick, and the one that is emaciated and cannot be fattened."  

لَهُ إِنَّا نَكْرَهُ النَّقْصَ فِي الْقُرُونِ وَالْأُذُنِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْبَرَاءُ اكْرَهْ لِنَفْسِكَ مَا شِئْتَ وَلَا تُحَرِّمْهُ عَلَى النَّاسِ قَالَ الْبَرَاءُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرْبَعٌ لَا يَجْزِي فِي الضَّحَايَا الْعَوْرَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ عَوَرُهَا وَالْمَكْسُورَةُ بَعْضُ قَوَائِمِهَا بَيِّنٌ كَسْرُهَا وَالْمَرِيضَةُ بَيِّنٌ مَرَضُهَا وَالْعَجْفَاءُ الَّتِي لَا تَنْقَى  

[Machine] About the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a similar narration, Al-Rabee' reported in his book with two chains of narrators, Al-Awza'i narrated the Hadith of Abu Salamah from Al-Bara' ibn 'Azib, the chain of narrators is authentic, and they did not mention it. Muslim only mentioned it, may Allah have mercy on him. The Hadith was narrated by Sulayman ibn 'Abd al-Rahman from 'Ubayd ibn Firooz from Al-Bara'a, and it was taken from Muslim due to the disagreement among the narrators regarding it. The most authentic of the narrations is the Hadith of Yahya ibn Abi Kathir from Abu Salamah. Ayub ibn Suyyid weakened his reliability according to Ahmad.  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمِثْلِهِ قَالَ الرَّبِيعُ فِي كِتَابِهِ بِالْإِسْنَادَيْنِ قَالَ ثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ حَدِيثُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ إِنَّمَا أَخْرَجَ مُسْلِمٌ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى حَدِيثَ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ فَيْرُوزٍ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ وَهُوَ فِيمَا أُخِذَ عَلَى مُسْلِمٍ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ لِاخْتِلَافِ النَّاقِلِينَ فِيهِ وَأَصَحُّهُ حَدِيثُ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَأيوب بن سويد ضعفه أحمد  

"I have been instructed to take the Day of Sacrifice as an 'Id which Allah, the Might and Sublime, has ordained for this Ummah." The man said: "What do you think if I cannot find anything but a female sheep that has been loaned to me so that I may benefit from its milk - should I sacrifice it?" He said: "No. Rather cut something from your hair and your nails, trim your mustache and shave your pubic hairs, and you will have a complete reward with Allah, the Might and Sublime, as if you had offered the sacrifice." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4365)   

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أُمِرْتُ بِيَوْمِ الْأَضْحَى عِيدًا جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ لِهَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ» قَالَ الرَّجُلُ فَإِنْ لَمْ أَجِدْ إِلَّا مَنِيحَةً أُنْثَى أَوْ شَاةَ أَهْلِي أَوْ مَنِيحَتَهُمْ أَذْبَحُهَا قَالَ «لَا وَلَكِنْ قَلِّمْ أَظْفَارَكَ وَقُصَّ شَارِبَكَ وَاحْلِقْ عَانَتَكَ فَذَاكَ تَمَامُ أُضْحِيَّتِكَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ ﷻ»  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited that an animal with a A'dab (stump) horn or ear should be slaughtered as a sacrifice." Qatadah (one of the narrators) said: "So I mentioned this to Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab and he said: 'The A'dab is that which equals or more than that.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1504)   

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى أَنَّ يُضَحَّى بِأَعْضَبِ الْقَرْنِ وَالْأُذُنِ» قَالَ قَتَادَةُ وَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِسَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ قَالَ «الْعَضْبُ النِّصْفُ فَمَا فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade sacrificing an animal with its ears slit from the front, an animal with its ears slit from the back, an animal whose ears are slit in two lengthwise, an animal with a round hole in its ear, and an animal with its nose [or ear or lip] cut off. (Using translation from Aḥmad 609)  

«نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُضَحَّى بِالْمُقَابَلَةِ وَالْمُدَابَرَةِ أَوْ شَرْقَاءَ أَوْ خَرْقَاءَ أَوْ جَدْعَاءَ»  

[Machine] "Our Prophet ﷺ ordered us to pluck out stray hairs around the eyes and ears, and not to have a meeting with someone who has cut a corner of his ear, or has cut the side of his ear, or has a split ear, or has a pierced ear." Abu Ishaq said, "Meeting refers to the cutting of the lobe of the ear, mudadara (cutting the side) refers to cutting the side of the ear, sharqa (split) refers to a split ear, and kharqa (pierced) refers to a pierced ear."  

«أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ نَسْتَشْرِفَ الْعَيْنَ وَالْأُذُنَ وَلَا يُضَحَّى بِمُقَابَلَةٍ وَلَا مُدَابَرَةٍ وَلَا شَرْقَاءَ وَلَا خَرْقَاءَ» قَالَ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ الْمُقَابَلَةُ مَا قُطِعَ طَرَفُ أُذُنِهَا وَالْمُدَابَرَةُ مَا قُطِعَ مِنْ جَانِبِ الْأُذُنِ وَالشَّرْقَاءُ الْمَشْقُوقَةُ وَالْخَرْقَاءُ الْمَثْقُوبَةُ  

[Machine] "And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ instructed us to seek information through observation with our eyes and ears." It was narrated by Sufyan Ath-Thawri and Shu'bah from Salamah bin Kuhail from Hujayyah bin Adi.  

«وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَسْتَشْرِفَ الْعَيْنَ وَالْأُذُنَ» رَوَاهُ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ وَشُعْبَةُ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ عَنْ حُجَيَّةَ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to check the eyes and ears [when selecting an animal for sacrifice] (Using translation from Aḥmad 732)  

وَقَالَ «أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ نَسْتَشْرِفَ الْعَيْنَ وَالْأُذُنَ»  

[Machine] Abu al-Walid al-Tayalisi and Abu Umar al-Hawdi narrated, they said, Shu'ba narrated from Salamah ibn Kuhayl who said, I heard Hujayy ibn 'Adi say, I heard Ali being asked about the cow and he said, regarding four. He was then asked about the cow with a broken horn and he said, it does not harm you. He was then asked about the lame cow and he said, when it reaches the place of sacrifice. He also said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to perform istishraf of the eye and ear." All these chains of narration are authentic, and they did not rely on the narration of Ibn 'Adi, who was one of the prominent companions of Amir al-Mu'minin Ali.  

ثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ وَأَبُو عُمَرَ الْحَوْضِيُّ قَالَا ثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حُجَيَّةَ بْنَ عَدِيٍّ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا وَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ عَنِ الْبَقَرَةِ فَقَالَ عَنْ سَبْعَةٍ قَالَ وَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ مَكْسُورَةِ الْقَرْنِ؟ قَالَ لَا تَضُرُّكَ قَالَ وَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ الْعَرْجِ؟ قَالَ إِذَا بَلَغَ الْمَنْسَكَ وَقَالَ «أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ نَسْتَشْرِفَ الْعَيْنَ وَالْأُذُنَ» هَذِهِ الْأَسَانِيدُ كُلُّهَا صَحِيحَةٌ وَلَمْ يَحْتَجَّا بِحُجَّيَةَ ابْنِ عَدِيٍّ وَهُوَ مِنْ كِبَارِ أَصْحَابِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيٍّ صحيح  

I came to Utbah ibn AbdusSulami and said: AbulWalid, I went out seeking sacrificial animals. I did not find anything which attracted me except an animal whose teeth have fallen. So I abominated it. What do you say (about it)? He said: Why did you not bring it to me? He said: Glory be to Allah: Is if lawful for you and not lawful for me? He said: Yes, you doubt and I do not doubt. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has forbidden an animal whose ear has been uprooted so much so that its hole appears (outwardly), and an animal whose horn has broken from the root, and an animal which has totally lost the sight of its eye, and an animal which is so thin and weak that it cannot go with the herd, and an animal with a broken leg. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2803)   

أَفَلَا جِئْتَنِي بِهَا فَقُلْتُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ تَجُوزُ عَنْكَ وَلَا تَجُوزُ عَنِّي؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ إِنَّكَ تَشُكُّ وَلَا أَشُكُّ إِنَّمَا «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْمُصْفَرَّةِ وَالْمُسْتَأْصَلَةِ وَالنَّحْفَاءِ وَالْمُشَيَّعَةِ وَالْكَسْرَاءِ» وَالْمُصْفَرَّةُ الَّتِي تُسْتَأْصَلُ أُذُنُهَا حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ صِمَاخُهَا وَالْمُسْتَأْصَلَةُ الَّتِي أُخِذَ قَرْنُهَا وَالنَّحْفَاءُ الَّتِي تُنْحَفُ عَيْنُهَا وَالْمُشَيَّعَةُ الَّتِي لَا تَتْبَعُ الْغَنَمَ عَجَفًا وَضَعْفًا وَالْكَسْرَاءُ الْكَسِيرُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It is not permissible in a vow (dedication) for a virgin, a widow, a leprosy patient, or a woman whose doctors are all male."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَجُوزُ فِي النَّذْرِ الْعَوْرَاءُ وَالْعَجْفَاءُ وَالْجَرْبَاءُ وَالْمُصْطَلِمَةُ أَطْبَاؤُهَا كُلُّهَا»  

[Machine] "We used to be commanded by the companions of Muhammad ﷺ in battles. And we were in Fars, and the day of slaughter (referring to a specific battle) became difficult for us. So we used to take the elderly and the children by their trunks and ribs. Then a man from Muzaynah tribe stood up among us and said, 'We used to be with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and we faced a similar day. So we used to take the elderly and the children by their trunks and ribs.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, 'Indeed, the trunk fulfills what the rib fulfills.' This hadith is narrated by Ath-Thawri from Asim ibn Kulayb, and the companion mentioned in it is Mujashiq ibn Mas'ud As-Sulami."  

كُنَّا نُؤَمِّرُ عَلَيْنَا فِي الْمَغَازِي أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ وَكُنَّا بِفَارِسَ فَغَلَتْ عَلَيْنَا يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ الْمَسَانُّ فَكُنَّا نَأْخُذُ الْمُسِنَّةُ بِالْجَذَعَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثَةِ فَقَامَ فِينَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ مُزَيْنَةَ فَقَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَصَابَنَا مِثْلُ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ فَكُنَّا نَأْخُذُ الْمُسِنَّةَ بِالْجَذَعَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثَةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ الْجَذَعُ يُوفِي مِمَّا يُوفِي مِنْهُ الثَّنِيُّ» رَوَاهُ الثَّوْرِيُّ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ وَسَمَّى الصَّحَابِيَ فِيهِ مُجَاشِعَ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ السُّلَمِيَّ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Indeed, the trunk fulfills what it is meant to fulfill from it, just as the branches do." This is narrated by Shu'bah from 'Asim ibn Kulaib, and the Sahabi (Companion) is not mentioned.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ الْجَذَعَ يُوفِي مِمَّا يُوفِي مِنْهُ الثَّنِيُّ» رَوَاهُ شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ وَلَمْ يُسَمِّ الصَّحَابِيَّ  

[Machine] "When the companions of the Prophet ﷺ were one or two days before Eid al-Adha, they would give the two thighs and take the shoulder. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Indeed, the thighs suffice for what the shoulder suffices for.'"  

كَانَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا كَانَ قَبْلَ الْأَضْحَى بِيَوْمٍ أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ أَعْطُوا جَذَعَيْنِ وَأَخَذُوا ثَنِيًّا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ الْجَذَعَةَ تُجْزئُ مِمَّا تُجْزئُ مِنْهُ الثَّنِيَّةُ»  

[Machine] Narrated by Muhammad ibn Ishaq al-Qurashi from Yazid ibn Abdullah ibn Qusayt, some of the wives of the Prophet ﷺ said, "I love to sacrifice a part of a lamb more than sacrificing an old goat." And they named Umm Salamah as the companion who uttered this statement.  

عَنْ بَعْضِ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَأَنْ أُضَحِّيَ بِجَذَعٍ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أُضَحِّيَ بِمُسِنَّةٍ مِنَ الْمَعْزِ» رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْقُرَشِيُّ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ قُسَيْطٍ وَسَمَّى الصَّحَابِيَّةَ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ  

[Machine] Narrated by Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , she said: "I love to sacrifice a young lamb more than sacrificing an old goat." And this hadith has been attributed to Abu Hurairah.  

عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ «لَأَنْ أُضَحِّيَ بِجَذَعٍ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أُضَحِّيَ بِمُسِنَّةٍ مِنَ الْمَعْزِ» وَقَدْ أُسْنِدَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ  

[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The blood of Aafraa is more beloved to me than the blood of Sadaawayn.'" (Al-Dhahabi remained silent about it in his summarization.)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «دَمُ عَفْرَاءَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ دَمِ سَوْدَاوَيْنِ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The leg of a lamb is better than the back of a goat." Al-Dhahabi remained silent about it in his summary.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الْجَذَعُ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ السَّيِّدِ مِنَ الْمَعْزِ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet, peace be upon him, with a scrawny lamb and a fat goat. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, which one is better? Should I sacrifice it?" The Prophet, peace be upon him, replied, "Sacrifice the goat, for Allah is Rich and does not need anything."  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِجَذَعٍ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ مَهْزُولٍ خَسِيسٍ وَجَذَعٍ مِنَ الْمَعْزِ سَمِينٍ يَسِيرٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هُوَ خَيْرُهُمَا أَفَأُضَحِّي بِهِ؟ فَقَالَ «ضَحِّ بِهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ أَغْنَى»  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم sent to Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas with a herd of sheep and he distributed it among his companions, and there remained a goat. So he sacrificed it during his Umrah.  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ إِلَى سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ بِقَطِيعٍ مِنْ غَنَمٍ فَقَسَمَهَا بَيْنَ أَصْحَابِهِ فَبَقِيَ مِنْهَا تَيْسٌ فَضَحَّى بِهِ فِي عُمْرَتِهِ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ sacrificed two large, fat, salted, paired, and bleating rams. He slaughtered one of them and said, "O Allah, this is on behalf of Muhammad and his ummah, from those who bear witness to Your Oneness, and bear witness to my Messengerhood." Al-Dhahabi remained silent about it in his summary.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ضَحَّى بِكَبْشَيْنِ سَمِينَيْنِ عَظِيمَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ أَقْرَنَيْنِ مَوْجُوئَيْنِ فَذَبَحَ أَحَدَهُمَا فَقَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَأُمَّتِهِ مَنْ شَهِدَ لَكَ بِالتَّوْحِيدِ وَشَهِدَ لِي بِالْبَلَاغِ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sacrificed a horned, defectless ram with a black stomach, black feet and black around its eyes.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3128)  

«ضَحَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِكَبْشٍ أَقْرَنَ فَحِيلٍ يَمْشِي فِي سَوَادٍ وَيَأْكُلُ فِي سَوَادٍ وَيَنْظُرُ فِي سَوَادٍ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ slaughtered a sheep that was tied at the place of prayer, then he said, "O Allah, this is on my behalf and on behalf of those who have not offered a sacrifice from my nation."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَبَحَ كَبْشًا أَقْرَنَ بِالْمُصَلَّى ثُمَّ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ هَذَا عَنِّي وَعَنْ مَنْ لَمْ يُضَحِّ مِنْ أُمَّتِي»  

“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 بَعْدَمَا عَلِمْتُ السُّنَّةَ كُنَّا نُضَحِّي بِالشَّاةِ وَالشَّاتَيْنِ عَنْ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ فَقَالَ أَهْلِي إِنَّ جِيرَانَنَا يَزْعُمُونَ إِنَّمَا بِنَا الْبُخْلُ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: The best shroud is a lower garment and one which covers the whole body, and the best sacrifice is a horned ram. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3156)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «خَيْرُ الضَّحِيَّةِ الْكَبْشُ الْأَقْرَنُ وَخَيْرُ الْكَفَنِ الْحُلَّةُ»  

[Machine] "I went out with Saad Al-Zurqai and he had companionship to buy sacrifices. He pointed to a ram with a muffled head, not the highest quality ram, and said, 'It is as if this is the ram that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sacrificed.'"  

خَرَجْتُ مَعَ سَعْدٍ الزُّرَقِيِّ وَكَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ إِلَى شِرَاءِ الضَّحَايَا فَأَشَارَ إِلَى كَبْشٍ أَدْغَمَ الرَّأْسِ لَيْسَ بِأَرْفَعِ الْكِبَاشِ فَقَالَ «كَأَنَّهُ الْكَبْشُ الَّذِي ضَحَّى بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَسَلَّمَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed for the people on the day of sacrifice, and when he finished his sermon and prayer, he slaughtered a sheep with his own hand and said, "In the name of Allah, Allah is the Greatest. O Allah, this is on my behalf and on behalf of those who have not sacrificed from my nation."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَّى لِلنَّاسِ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ خُطْبَتِهِ وَصَلَاتِهِ ضَحَّى بِكَبْشٍ فَذَبَحَهُ هُوَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَقَالَ «بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُمَّ هَذَا عَنِّي وَعَنْ مَنْ لَمْ يُضَحِّ مِنْ أُمَّتِي»  

[Machine] The translation of the provided Arabic text into English is as follows: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ slaughtered his sacrificial animal and then said, 'O Allah, this is on behalf of me and my ummah (community).'"  

ذَبَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أُضْحِيَّتَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ هَذَا عَنِّي وَعَنْ أُمَّتِي»  

[Machine] From his grandfather Abdullah bin Hisham, who had witnessed the Prophet ﷺ , his mother Zainab bint Hameed took him to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he was young. The Prophet ﷺ wiped his head and prayed for him saying, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to sacrifice one sheep on behalf of his entire family." All of these hadiths are authentic in terms of their chains of narrators regarding the permissibility of offering one sheep as a sacrifice on behalf of a group that is too numerous to count, contrary to those who assume that it is only permissible for an individual. There are narrations that indicate the permissibility of offering a sacrifice on behalf of the deceased as well.  

عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ وَكَانَ قَدْ أَدْرَكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ ذَهَبَتْ بِهِ أُمُّهُ زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ حُمَيْدٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ صَغِيرٌ فَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ وَدَعَا لَهُ قَالَ «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُضَحِّي بِالشَّاةِ الْوَاحِدَةِ عَنْ جَمِيعِ أَهْلِهِ» هَذِهِ الْأَحَادِيثُ كُلُّهَا صَحِيحَةُ الْأَسَانِيدِ فِي الرُّخْصَةِ فِي الْأُضْحِيَّةِ بِالشَّاةِ الْوَاحِدَةِ عَنِ الْجَمَاعَةِ الَّتِي لَا يُحْصَى عَدَدُهُمْ خِلَافَ مَنْ يَتَوَهَّمُ أَنَّهَا لَا تُجْزِئُ إِلَّا عَنِ الْوَاحِدِ وَقَدْ رُوِيَتْ أَخْبَارٌ فِي الْأُضْحِيَّةِ عَنِ الْأَمْوَاتِ صحيح  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told me to offer a sacrifice on his behalf, and I will continue to offer a sacrifice on his behalf forever. (Using translation from Aḥmad 843)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وكبشٍ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ وَقَالَ «أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ أُضَحِّيَ عَنْهُ» فَأَنَا أُضَحِّي أَبَدًا  

Thauban, make his meat usable (for journey), and I continuously served him that until he arrived in Medina. (Using translation from Muslim 1975a)   

عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ ذَبَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أُضْحِيَّتَهُ فِي السَّفَرِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا ثَوْبَانُ أَصْلِحْ لَحْمَهَا» فَلَمْ أَزَلْ أُطْعِمَهُ مِنْهَا حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ  

[Machine] We slaughtered seventy camels in Hudaybiyah, one after another in groups of ten. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Let the cows also participate in the sacrifice."  

نَحَرْنَا يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ سَبْعِينَ بَدَنَةً الْبَدَنَةُ عَنْ عَشَرَةٍ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لِيَشْتَرِكِ الْبَقَرُ فِي الْهَدْيِ»  

"We were with the Mesenger of Allah on a journey, when the Day of Sacrifice came, so we shared a camel among ten men, and a cow among seven." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4392)  

«كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَحَضَرَ النَّحْرُ فَاشْتَرَكْنَا فِي الْبَقَرَةِ عَنْ سَبْعَةٍ وَفِي الْجَزُورِ عَنْ عَشَرَةٍ»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us on the two Eids to wear the best of what we can find, to apply the best fragrance we can find, to sacrifice the best of what we can find, seven (camels) for the cow and ten (camels) for the sheep, to express the takbeer (saying Allahu Akbar) openly, and (he said) tranquility and dignity are upon us. If it were not for the ignorance of Ishaq ibn Buzurj, I would have ruled the authenticity of the hadith, were it not for the ignorance of Ishaq, I would have ruled its authenticity."  

«أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الْعِيدَيْنِ أَنْ نَلْبَسَ أَجْوَدَ مَا نَجِدُ وَأَنْ نَتَطَيَّبَ بِأَجْوَدَ مَا نَجِدُ وَأَنْ نُضَحِّيَ بِأَسْمَنِ مَا نَجِدُ الْبَقَرَةُ عَنْ سَبْعَةٍ وَالْجَزُورُ عَنْ عَشَرَةٍ وَأَنْ نُظْهِرَ التَّكْبِيرَ وَعَلَيْنَا السَّكِينَةُ وَالْوَقَارُ» لَوْلَا جَهَالَةُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ بُزُرْجٍ لَحَكَمْتُ لِلْحَدِيثِ بِالصِّحَّةِ لولا جهالة إسحاق لحكمت بصحته  

[Machine] "I was the seventh of seven companions with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey. We reached the time of Eid al-Adha and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ instructed us to each contribute a silver coin. We bought a sacrificial animal for seven silver coins and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we have spent a lot on it.' He replied, 'The best sacrifices are the most expensive and fattest ones.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ instructed us, and a man held one leg, another held another leg, one man held a hand, another held the other hand, one man held a horn, and another held the other horn, and they slaughtered the animal and all of us joined in saying takbeer (Allahu Akbar). Uthman ibn Zafar is trustworthy."  

كُنْتُ سَابِعَ سَبْعَةٍ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرِهِ فَأَدْرَكَنَا الْأَضْحَى فَأَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَجَمَعَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا دِرْهَمًا فَاشْتَرَيْنَا أُضْحِيَّةً بِسَبْعَةِ دَرَاهِمَ وَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ غَلِينَا بِهَا فَقَالَ «إِنَّ أَفْضَلَ الضَّحَايَا أَغْلَاهَا وَأَسْمَنُهَا» قَالَ ثُمَّ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَخَذَ رَجُلٌ بِرِجْلٍ وَرَجُلٌ بِرِجْلٍ وَرَجُلٌ بِيَدٍ وَرَجُلٌ بِيَدٍ وَرَجُلٌ بِقَرْنٍ وَرَجُلٌ بِقَرْنٍ وَذَبَحَ السَّابِعُ وَكَبِّرُوا عَلَيْهَا جَمِيعًاعثمان بن زفر ثقة  

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, indeed I have compassion for the sheep, so I hesitate to slaughter it." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If you show mercy to it, Allah will show mercy to you."  

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَرْحَمُ الشَّاةِ أَنْ أَذْبَحَهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنْ رَحِمْتَهَا رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you want to kill her? Should you not have sharpened your knife before putting her to sleep?"  

النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَتُرِيدُ أَنْ تُمِيتَهَا مَوْتَاتٍ هَلَّا حَدَدْتَ شَفْرَتَكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُضْجِعَهَا»  

“And certainly, the Shayatin (devils) do inspire their friends (from mankind).” [6:121] He said: “They used to say: ‘Whatever the Name of Allah has been mentioned over, do not eat it, and whatever the Name of Allah has not been mentioned over, eat it.’ Then Allah said: “Eat not of that over which Allah’s Name has not been pronounced.’” [6:121] (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3173)   

«يَقُولُونَ مَا ذُبِحَ فَذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَلَا تَأْكُلُوهُ وَمَا لَمْ يُذْكَرِ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَكُلُوهُ» فَقَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {وَلَا تَأْكُلُوا مِمَّا لَمْ يُذْكَرِ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ} [الأنعام 121]  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever has money and does not sacrifice, then our prayers should not be approached by him." And he said another time, "Whoever has the means and does not offer a sacrifice, then our prayers should not be approached by him."  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ مَالٌ فَلَمْ يُضَحِّ فَلَا يَقْرَبَنَّ مُصَلَّانَا» وَقَالَ مَرَّةً «مَنْ وَجَدَ سَعَةً فَلَمْ يَذْبَحْ فَلَا يَقْرَبَنَّ مُصَلَّانَا»  

[Machine] Indeed, an increase in confidence is acceptable, and Abu Abdurrahman al-Muqri is above confidence.
