nasai-kubra:4457Hannād b. al-Sarī Fī Ḥadīthih > Abū al-Aḥwaṣ > ʿĀṣim b. Kulayb from his father

"We were on a journey and the day of Al-adha came, so we started to by sheep, a Musinnah for two or three Jadh'ahs. A man from Muzainah said to us: 'We were with the Messenger of Allah on a journey when this came, and we stated to look for sheep, (offering to buy) aMusinnah for two or three Jadh'ahs. Then the Messenger of Allah said: "A Jadh'ah is sufficient for that for which a Thani is sufficient." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4383)  

الكبرى للنسائي:٤٤٥٧أَخْبَرَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ فِي حَدِيثِهِ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

كُنَّا فِي سَفَرٍ فَحَضَرَ الْأَضْحَى فَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَشْتَرِي مِنَّا الْمُسِنَّةَ بِالْجَذَعَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثَةِ فَقَالَ لَنَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ مُزَيْنَةَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَحَضَرَ هَذَا الْيَوْمُ فَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَطْلُبُ الْمُسِنَّةَ بِالْجَذَعَتَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثَةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ الْجَذَعَ يُوفِي مِمَّا يُوفِي مِنْهُ الثَّنِيُّ»
