It was narrated that 'Uqbah bin 'Amir Al-Juhani said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) distributed some sacrificial animals among us, and I got a Jadh'ah. I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I have got a Jadh'ah.' He said: 'Sacrifice it."'

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ الدَّسْتُوَائِيِّ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، عَنْ بَعْجَةَ الْجُهَنِيِّ ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ ، قَالَ: قَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِينَا ضَحَايَا ، فَأَصَابَنِي جَذَعٌ ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنَّهُ أَصَابَنِي جَذَعٌ ، فَقَالَ: ضَحِّ بِهِ.

It was narrated that Anas said: "The Prophet (s.a.w) sacrificed two horned black and white rams; he slaughtered them with his own hand and said the Name of Allah, and said the Takbir, and he placed his foot on their sides."

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : ضَحَّى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِكَبْشَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ أَقْرَنَيْنِ ، ذَبَحَهُمَا بِيَدِهِ ، وَسَمَّى وَكَبَّرَ ، وَوَضَعَ رِجْلَهُ عَلَى صِفَاحِهِمَا.

It was narrated that Anas said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) sacrificed two horned black and-white rams. I saw him slaughter them with his own hand, and I saw him placing his foot on their sides, and he said the Name of Allah and he said the Takbir."

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى ، أَخْبَرَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ: ضَحَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِكَبْشَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ أَقْرَنَيْنِ ، قَالَ: وَرَأَيْتُهُ يَذْبَحُهُمَا بِيَدِهِ ، وَرَأَيْتُهُ وَاضِعًا قَدَمَهُ عَلَى صِفَاحِهِمَا ، قَالَ: وَسَمَّى وَكَبَّرَ.

It was narrated from 'Aishah that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) ordered that a horned ram, with black legs, a black belly and black around its eyes, be brought for him to sacrifice it. He said to 'Aishah: "Bring me the knife." Then he said: "Sharpen it on a stone." She did that, then he took it and he took the ram and made it lie down, then he slaughtered it and said: "In the Name of Allah, O Allah, accept it from Muhammad and the family of Muhammad and from the Ummah of Muhammad." Then he sacrificed it.

حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مَعْرُوفٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ ، قَالَ: قَالَ حَيْوَةُ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو صَخْرٍ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ قُسَيْطٍ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَ بِكَبْشٍ أَقْرَنَ يَطَأُ فِي سَوَادٍ ، وَيَبْرُكُ فِي سَوَادٍ ، وَيَنْظُرُ فِي سَوَادٍ ، فَأُتِيَ بِهِ لِيُضَحِّيَ بِهِ ، فَقَالَ لَهَا: يَا عَائِشَةُ ، هَلُمِّي الْمُدْيَةَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: اشْحَذِيهَا بِحَجَرٍ ، فَفَعَلَتْ: ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا ، وَأَخَذَ الْكَبْشَ فَأَضْجَعَهُ ، ثُمَّ ذَبَحَهُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: بِاسْمِ اللهِ ، اللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَمِنْ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، ثُمَّ ضَحَّى بِهِ.

It was narrated from Rafi' bin Khadij: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, we are going to meet the enemy tomorrow, and we do not have any knives.' He (s.a.w) said: 'Slaughter quickly (with whatever) makes the blood flow, and mention the Name of Allah and eat, but do not use teeth and nails. I will explain to you. As for teeth, they are bones, and as for nails, they are the knives of the Abyssinians.' We acquired some camels and sheep, and one of the camels went out of control, and a man shot it with an arrow and brought it under control. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'These camels have the inclination to behave in a wild manner. If one of them overwhelms you, do the same thing."'

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى الْعَنَزِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ عَبَايَةَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ ، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنَّا لاَقُو الْعَدُوِّ غَدًا ، وَلَيْسَتْ مَعَنَا مُدًى ، قَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَعْجِلْ ، أَوْ أَرْنِي ، مَا أَنْهَرَ الدَّمَ ، وَذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللهِ ، فَكُلْ ، لَيْسَ السِّنَّ ، وَالظُّفُرَ ، وَسَأُحَدِّثُكَ ، أَمَّا السِّنُّ فَعَظْمٌ ، وَأَمَّا الظُّفُرُ فَمُدَى الْحَبَشَةِ ، قَالَ: وَأَصَبْنَا نَهْبَ إِبِلٍ وَغَنَمٍ ، فَنَدَّ مِنْهَا بَعِيرٌ ، فَرَمَاهُ رَجُلٌ بِسَهْمٍ فَحَبَسَهُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِنَّ لِهَذِهِ الإِبِلِ أَوَابِدَ كَأَوَابِدِ الْوَحْشِ ، فَإِذَا غَلَبَكُمْ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ فَاصْنَعُوا بِهِ هَكَذَا.

It was narrated from 'Abayah bin Rifa'ah bin Rafi' bin Khadij that his grandfather said: "We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, we are going to meet the enemy tomorrow, and we do not have any knives, so can we use a piece of reed for slaughtering?"' He mentioned the same narration (as no. 5092) and he said: "One of those camels went wild, and we shot it with arrows until we made it fall down."

وحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ ، عَنْ عَبَايَةَ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ رَافِعٍ ، ثُمَّ حَدَّثَنِيهِ عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَبَايَةَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ ، قَالَ: قُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنَّا لاَقُو الْعَدُوِّ غَدًا ، وَلَيْسَ مَعَنَا مُدًى ، فَنُذَكِّي بِاللِّيطِ ، وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِقِصَّتِهِ ، وَقَالَ: فَنَدَّ عَلَيْنَا بَعِيرٌ مِنْهَا ، فَرَمَيْنَاهُ بِالنَّبْلِ حَتَّى وَهَصْنَاهُ.

It was narrated from Rafi' bin Khadij that he said: "O Messenger of Allah, we are going to meet the enemy tomorrow, and we do not have any knives," and he quoted the same Hadith (as no. 5093), but he did not mention (the words): "The people rushed (and slaughtered these animals) and started cooking them in pots, but he ordered that they be overturned," but he mentioned the rest of the story.

وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ ، عَنْ عَبَايَةَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ رَافِعٍ ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنَّا لاَقُو الْعَدُوِّ غَدًا وَلَيْسَ مَعَنَا مُدًى ، وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فَعَجِلَ الْقَوْمُ ، فَأَغْلَوْا بِهَا الْقُدُورَ ، فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَكُفِئَتْ وَذَكَرَ سَائِرَ الْقِصَّةِ.

Abu 'Ubaid, the freed slave of Ibn Azhar, narrated that he attended 'Eid with 'Umar bin Al-Khattab. He said: "Then I prayed with 'Ali bin Abi Talib, and he led us in prayer before the Khutbah, then he addressed the people. He said: 'The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) forbade you to eat the meat of your sacrifices for more than three days, so do not eat it."'

حَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ ، مَوْلَى ابْنِ أَزْهَرَ ، أَنَّهُ شَهِدَ الْعِيدَ مَعَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ، قَالَ: فَصَلَّى لَنَا قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ ، ثُمَّ خَطَبَ النَّاسَ ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ نَهَاكُمْ أَنْ تَأْكُلُوا لُحُومَ نُسُكِكُمْ فَوْقَ ثَلاَثِ لَيَالٍ ، فَلاَ تَأْكُلُوا.

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Abi Bakr that 'Abdullah bin Waqid said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) forbade eating the sacrificial meat after three days." 'Abdullah bin Abi Bakr said: "I mentioned that to 'Amrah and she said: 'He spoke the truth. I heard 'Aishah say: "The poor among the people of the desert came to the towns during 'Eid Al-Adha (seeking help) during the time of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Keep enough for three days, then give what is left in charity.' After that they said: 'O Messenger of Allah, the people are making skins with (the hides of) their sacrifices, and they are putting the fat into them.' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Why is that?' They said: 'You forbade eating the meat of the sacrificial animals after three days.' He said: 'I only forbade you because of the poor people who came (seeking help). (Now) eat and store and give in charity."'

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا رَوْحٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ ، قَالَ : نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ أَكْلِ لُحُومِ الضَّحَايَا بَعْدَ ثَلاَثٍ ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ : فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعَمْرَةَ ، فَقَالَتْ : صَدَقَ ، سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ ، تَقُولُ : دَفَّ أَهْلُ أَبْيَاتٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ حَضْرَةَ الأَضْحَى زَمَنَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : ادَّخِرُوا ثَلاَثًا ، ثُمَّ تَصَدَّقُوا بِمَا بَقِيَ ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ، قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَتَّخِذُونَ الأَسْقِيَةَ مِنْ ضَحَايَاهُمْ ، وَيَجْمُلُونَ مِنْهَا الْوَدَكَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : وَمَا ذَاكَ ؟ قَالُوا : نَهَيْتَ أَنْ تُؤْكَلَ لُحُومُ الضَّحَايَا بَعْدَ ثَلاَثٍ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّمَا نَهَيْتُكُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ الدَّافَّةِ الَّتِي دَفَّتْ ، فَكُلُوا وَادَّخِرُوا وَتَصَدَّقُوا.

It was narrated that Jabir bin 'Abdullah said: "We would not keep the sacrificial meat for more than three days, then the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) ordered us to store some of it (for the journey) and to eat from it - i.e., for more than three days."

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ عَدِيٍّ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، قَالَ: كُنَّا لاَ نُمْسِكُ لُحُومَ الأَضَاحِيِّ فَوْقَ ثَلاَثٍ ، فَأَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نَتَزَوَّدَ مِنْهَا ، وَنَأْكُلَ مِنْهَا ، يَعْنِي فَوْقَ ثَلاَثٍ.
