ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الدَّالِّ عَلَى أَنَّ الْأُضْحِيَّةَ وَالْأَمْرَ بِهَا لَيْسَ بِوَاجِبٍ

"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."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ أُمِرْتُ بِيَوْمِ الأَضْحَى عِيدًا جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ ﷻ لِهَذِهِ الأُمَّةِ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ أَجِدْ إِلاَّ مَنِيحَةً أُنْثَى أَفَأُضَحِّي بِهَا قَالَ لاَ وَلَكِنْ تَأْخُذُ مِنْ شَعْرِكَ وَتُقَلِّمُ أَظْفَارَكَ وَتَقُصُّ شَارِبَكَ وَتَحْلِقُ عَانَتَكَ فَذَلِكَ تَمَامُ أُضْحِيَتِكَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ ﷻ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: I have been commanded to celebrate festival ('Id) on the day of sacrifice, which Allah, Most High, has appointed for this community. A man said: If I do not find except a she-goat or a she-camel borrowed for milk or other benefits, should I sacrifice it? He said: No, but you should clip your hair , and nails, trim your moustaches, and shave your pubes. This is all your sacrifice in the eyes of Allah, Most High.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ أُمِرْتُ بِيَوْمِ الأَضْحَى عِيدًا جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ ﷻ لِهَذِهِ الأُمَّةِ قَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ أَجِدْ إِلاَّ أُضْحِيَةً أُنْثَى أَفَأُضَحِّي بِهَا قَالَ لاَ وَلَكِنْ تَأْخُذُ مِنْ شَعْرِكَ وَأَظْفَارِكَ وَتَقُصُّ شَارِبَكَ وَتَحْلِقُ عَانَتَكَ فَتِلْكَ تَمَامُ أُضْحِيَتِكَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ ﷻ

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»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I was commanded to observe the day of Eid Al-Adha, which Allah has made for this Ummah." A man asked, "What if I can only afford the sacrifice through a gift from my family, may I still offer it?" He replied, "No, but trim your nails, shave your pubic hair, and take care of your mustache. That is the completion of your sacrifice."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أُمِرْتُ بِيَوْمِ الْأَضْحَى عِيدٌ جَعَلَهُ اللهُ لِهَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ أَجِدْ إِلَّا مِنْحَةَ أَهْلِي أَفَأُضَحِّي بِهَا؟ فَقَالَ «لَا وَلَكِنْ قَلِّمْ أَظْفَارَكَ وَاحْلِقْ عَانَتَكَ وَخُذْ شَارِبَكَ فَذَاكَ تَمَامُ أُضْحِيَتِكَ»

(Using translation from Nasāʾī 4365)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ «أُمِرْتُ بِيَوْمِ الْأَضْحَى عِيدًا جَعَلَهُ اللهُ لِهَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ» فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ أَجِدْ إِلَّا مَنِيحَةً أُنْثَى أَفَأُضَحِّي بِهَا؟ قَالَ «لَا وَلَكِنْ تَأْخُذُ مِنْ شَعْرِكَ وَتُقَلِّمُ أَظْفَارَكَ وَتَقُصُّ شَارِبَكَ وَتَحْلِقُ عَانَتَكَ فَذَلِكَ تَمَامُ ضَحِيَّتِكَ عِنْدَ اللهِ»  

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I have been commanded to celebrate Eid al-Adha, which Allah has made for this Ummah. But if I can only find the scent of my father's perfume or the sheep of my father and my family, can I sacrifice them?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "No, but trim your nails, shave your mustache, and shorten your hair. That is the complete sacrifice in the sight of Allah." (Hadith 19029) And Abu Abdullah granted me permission. Abu al-Abbas Muhammad ibn Ya'qub narrated to us, Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Abd al-Hakam narrated to us, who reported it from Ibn Wahb, and he mentioned it with its chain of narration.  

رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أُمِرْتُ بِيَوْمِ الْأَضْحَى عِيدًا جَعَلَهُ اللهُ لِهَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ فَإِنْ لَمْ أَجِدْ إِلَّا مَنِيحَةَ أَبِي أَوْ شَاةَ أَبِي وَأَهْلِي وَمَنِيحَتَهُمْ أَذْبَحُهَا؟ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنْ قَلِّمْ أَظْفَارَكَ وَقُصَّ شَارِبَكَ وَاحْلِقْ عَانَتَكَ فَذَلِكَ تَمَامُ أُضْحِيَّتِكَ عِنْدَ اللهِ ﷻ 19029 وَأَنْبَانِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ إِجَازَةً ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ أنبأ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ فَذَكَرَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ مِثْلَهُ

(Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2789)   

"أُمِرْتُ بيومِ الأَضْحى عيد جعله اللهُ لِهَذِه الأمَّةِ - قيل: أَرَأَيتَ إِنْ لمْ أجدْ إلا منِيحةً: أُنثى. أَفَأُضَحِّي بها؟ قَال: لَا: وَلَكِنْ تأخُذُ مِنْ شَعَرِكَ، وتقلِّمُ أَظْفَارك، وتَقْصُّ شَارِبك، وتَحْلِقُ عانتَك فَتِلْكَ تمامُ ضَحِيَّتِكَ عنْد الله ﷻ".
