[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] Jibril, ﷺ , came to the Prophet ﷺ on the day of Eid al-Adha and asked, "How do you see our sacrifices?" The Prophet replied, "The people of the heavens take delight in it." Jibril then informed him, "O Muhammad, know that the sacrifice of a young sheep is better than the sacrifice of a camel or a cow. If Allah had known of a better sacrifice, He would have commanded Ibrahim, ﷺ , to offer it. Abu Ja'far al-Sammani also narrated a similar hadith from Ishaq, in which he added that the sacrifice of a young sheep is better than the sacrifice of a goat, and Ishaq mentioned this in his narration even though it has a weak chain of narration."

جَاءَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْأَضْحَى فَقَالَ كَيْفَ رَأَيْتَ نُسُكَنَا هَذَا؟ قَالَ لَقَدْ بَاهَى بِهِ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ وَاعْلَمْ يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَنَّ الْجَذَعَ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الثَّنِيَّةِ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ وَالْبَقَرِ وَلَوْ عَلِمَ اللهُ ذَبْحًا أَفْضَلَ مِنْهُ لَفَدَى بِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَرَوَاهُ أَيْضًا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ السِّمْنَانِيُّ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ زَادَ فِيهِ وَالْجَذَعُ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الثَّنِيَّةِ مِنَ الْمَعْزِ وَإِسْحَاقُ يَنْفَرِدُ بِهِ وَفِي حَدِيثِهِ ضَعْفٌ

"نَزَلَ جِبْرِيلُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: كيفَ رَأَيتَ عيدَنَا؟ فَقَال: لَقَدْ تَباهَى بهِ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ، اعْلَمْ يَا مُحَمَّدُ، إِنَّ الجَذع مِنَ الضَّأنِ خَيرٌ مِنَ المُسِنَّةِ مِنَ المَعِزِ، وَأَنَّ الجَذع مِنَ الضَّأنِ خَيرٌ مِنَ المُسِنَّةِ مِنَ البقَرِ، وَأَنَّ الجَذع مِنَ الضَّأنِ خَيرٌ مِنَ المُسِنَّةِ مِنَ الإِبِلِ، وَلَوْ عَلِمَ الله ذِبْحًا خَيرًا مِنْهُ فَدَى بِهِ إِبْرَاهيمَ".
