“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.”
Chapter 11: The one who wants to offer a sacrifice should not remove anything from his hair or nails during the ten (days at the beginning of Dhul-Hijjah) - كتاب الأضاحي
It was
narrated from Umm Salamah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحَمَّالُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ
" إِذَا دَخَلَ الْعَشْرُ وَأَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يُضَحِّيَ فَلاَ يَمَسَّ مِنْ شَعَرِهِ وَلاَ بَشَرِهِ شَيْئًا " .
“When
the
ten days (of Dhul-Hijjah) begin, and one of you wants to offer a
sacrifice, let him not remove anything from his hair or skin.”

It was
narrated from Umm Salamah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
Chapter 12: Prohibition of slaughtering the sacrifices before the (`Id) prayer - كتاب الأضاحي
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، ذَبَحَ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ قَبْلَ الصَّلاَةِ فَأَمَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَنْ يُعِيدَ .
It was
narrated from Anas bin Malik that a man slaughtered on the Day
of
Sacrifice, (meaning) before the ‘Eid prayer, and the Prophet (ﷺ)
ordered him to do it again.
Chapter 12: Prohibition of slaughtering the sacrifices before the (`Id) prayer - كتاب الأضاحي
It was
narrated from Aswad bin Qais that he heard Jundub Al-Bajali
say:
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ جُنْدَبٍ الْبَجَلِيِّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ شَهِدْتُ الأَضْحَى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَذَبَحَ أُنَاسٌ قَبْلَ الصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" مَنْ كَانَ ذَبَحَ مِنْكُمْ قَبْلَ الصَّلاَةِ فَلْيُعِدْ أُضْحِيَّتَهُ وَمَنْ لاَ فَلْيَذْبَحْ عَلَى اسْمِ اللَّهِ " .
“I
was present on Adha day with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and
some
people slaughtered before the prayer. The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
‘Whoever among you has slaughtered before the prayer, let him
repeat
his sacrifice, and whoever has not, let him offer his
sacrifice in the
Name of Allah.’”
“The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) passed by one of the houses of the Ansar and noticed the smell
of a cooking pot. He said: ‘Who is this who has slaughtered?’ A
man
from among us came out and said: ‘It is me, O Messenger of
Allah, I
slaughtered before the prayer so that I could feed my family
and
neighbors.’ He commanded him to repeat it. He said: ‘No, by
the One
besides Whom there is none worthy of worship, I do not have
anything
but a one-year-old sheep or a lamb.’ He (ﷺ) said:
‘Sacrifice it, but
a one-year-old sheep will not do for anyone
after you.’”
Chapter 13: One who slaughters his sacrifice with his own hand - كتاب الأضاحي
‘Abdur-Rahman bin Sa’d bin ‘Ammar bin Sa’d, the Mu’adhdhin
of the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), told us:
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَمَّارِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، مُؤَذِّنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ذَبَحَ أُضْحِيَّتَهُ عِنْدَ طَرَفِ الزُّقَاقِ طَرِيقِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ بِيَدِهِ بِشَفْرَةٍ .
“My father told me, from
my
grandfather, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) slaughtered his
sacrifice at the side of an alley, on the road of Banu Zuraiq, with
his own hand, using a blade.”
Chapter 14: The skins of the sacrificial animals - كتاب الأضاحي
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْمَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ الْبُرْسَانِيُّ، أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، أَنَّ مُجَاهِدًا، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبِي لَيْلَى أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَقْسِمَ بُدْنَهُ كُلَّهَا لُحُومَهَا وَجُلُودَهَا وَجِلاَلَهَا لِلْمَسَاكِينِ .
‘Ali
bin Abu Talib narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
commanded
him to distribute the entire sacrificial camel – its meat,
skin and
covers – among the poor.
Chapter 15: Eating from the sacrificial meat - كتاب الأضاحي
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَمَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ جَزُورٍ بِبَضْعَةٍ فَجُعِلَتْ فِي قِدْرٍ فَأَكَلُوا مِنَ اللَّحْمِ وَحَسَوْا مِنَ الْمَرَقِ .
It was
narrated from Jabir bin ‘Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
ordered that a piece from every camel that had been slaughtered
be
brought and placed in a pot, then they ate from its meat and drank
some of the broth.
Chapter 17: Slaughtering at the prayer place - كتاب الأضاحي
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَذْبَحُ بِالْمُصَلَّى .
It was
narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that the Prophet (ﷺ) used to
slaughter at
the prayer place (of the ‘Eid congregation).
“A man called the Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, we used to sacrifice the
‘Atirah during the Ignorance days in Rajab,; what do you command us
to
do?’ He said: “Sacrifice to Allah whatever month it is, do
good for
the sake of Allah and feed (the poor).’ They said: ‘O
Messenger of
Allah, we used to sacrifice the Far’ah during the
Ignorance days; what
do you command us to do?’ He said: ‘For
every Sa’imah* (flock of
grazing animals), feed the firstborn as
you feed the rest of your
flock until it reaches an age where it
could be used to carry loads,
then sacrifice it, and give its meat in
charity’ – I** think he said –
‘to the wayfarer, for that is
good.’”
Chapter 3: If you slaughter then slaughter well - كتاب الذبائح
It was
narrated from Shaddad bin Aws that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said:
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الأَشْعَثِ، عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ
" إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ كَتَبَ الإِحْسَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ فَإِذَا قَتَلْتُمْ فَأَحْسِنُوا الْقِتْلَةَ وَإِذَا ذَبَحْتُمْ فَأَحْسِنُوا الذَّبْحَ وَلْيُحِدَّ أَحَدُكُمْ شَفْرَتَهُ وَلْيُرِحْ ذَبِيحَتَهُ " .
“Allah has prescribed Al-Ihsan (proficiency) in all
things. So if
you kill, then kill well, and if you slaughter, then
slaughter well.
Let one of you sharpen his blade and spare suffering
to the animal he
slaughters.”
Chapter 3: If you slaughter then slaughter well - كتاب الذبائح
It was
narrated that ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar said:
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ابْنُ أَخِي، حُسَيْنٍ الْجُعْفِيِّ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي قُرَّةُ بْنُ حَيْوَئِيلَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ بِحَدِّ الشِّفَارِ وَأَنْ تُوَارَى عَنِ الْبَهَائِمِ وَقَالَ
" إِذَا ذَبَحَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيُجْهِزْ " .
حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُسَافِرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَسْوَدِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ مِثْلَهُ .
“The Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) commanded that the blade should be sharpened, and hidden
from
the animals, and he said: ‘When one of you slaughters, let him do
it quickly.’”
Another chain reports the same.
