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.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ أَعْظَمَ الأَيَّامِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَوْمُ النَّحْرِ ثُمَّ يَوْمُ الْقَرِّ قَالَ عِيسَى قَالَ ثَوْرٌ وَهُوَ الْيَوْمُ الثَّانِي قَالَ وَقُرِّبَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَدَنَاتٌ خَمْسٌ أَوْ سِتٌّ فَطَفِقْنَ يَزْدَلِفْنَ إِلَيْهِ بِأَيَّتِهِنَّ يَبْدَأُ فَلَمَّا وَجَبَتْ جُنُوبُهَا قَالَ فَتَكَلَّمَ بِكَلِمَةٍ خَفِيَّةٍ لَمْ أَفْهَمْهَا فَقُلْتُ مَا قَالَ قَالَ مَنْ شَاءَ اقْتَطَعَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The greatest days in the sight of Allah are the Day of Sacrifice and then the Day of Qarr (i.e. the 11th, 12th, and 13th of the Islamic month of Dhul-Hijjah). And the closest people to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ are those who slaughter five or six camels, which then strut towards him with their necks raised up high. So he asks them, 'Which one of you shall I begin with?' When their limbs are washed, he quietly utters a word that I did not understand. So I asked someone near me, 'What did he say?' They replied, 'He said, "Anyone who wishes to cut off (perform Qurbani), let them do so."'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَعْظَمُ الْأَيَّامِ عِنْدَ اللهِ يَوْمُ النَّحْرِ ثُمَّ يَوْمُ الْقَرِّ وَقُرِّبَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ خَمْسُ بَدَنَاتٍ أَوْ سِتٌّ يَنْحَرُهُنَّ فَطَفِقْنَ يَزْدَلِفْنَ إِلَيْهِ أَيَّتُهُنَّ يَبْدَأُ بِهَا فَلَمَّا وَجَبَتْ جُنُوبُهَا قَالَ كَلِمَةً خَفِيَّةً لَمْ أَفْهَمْهَا فَسَأَلْتُ بَعْضَ مَنْ يَلِينِي مَا قَالَ؟ قَالُوا قَالَ مَنْ شَاءَ اقْتَطَعَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The best of days in the sight of Allah is the Day of Sacrifice, and then the Day of Al-Qarr (the day following Eid al-Adha), on which the people settle down and it is the day that follows the Day of Sacrifice. On that day, I advanced towards the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with five or six camels as a gift. We set out, and as we approached, they inclined towards him by means of their marks. He began saying some words surreptitiously that I did not understand. So I said to the one beside me, 'What did he say?' He replied, 'He said, "Whoever wishes, can take it."'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَفْضَلُ الْأَيَّامِ عِنْدَ اللهِ يَوْمُ النَّحْرِ ثُمَّ يَوْمُ الْقَرِّ يَسْتَقِرُّ فِيهِ النَّاسُ وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَلِي يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ قُدِّمْنَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِيهِ بَدَنَاتٌ خَمْسٌ أَوْ سِتٌّ فَطَفِقْنَ يَزْدَلِفْنَ إِلَيْهِ بِأَيَّتِهِنَّ يَبْدَأُ فَلَمَّا وَجَبَتْ جُنُوبُهَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كَلِمَةٌ خَفِيَّةٌ لَمْ أَفْهَمْهَا فَقُلْتُ لِلَّذِي إِلَى جَنْبِي مَا قَالَ؟ قَالَ مَنْ شَاءَ اقْتَطَعَ
