حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، 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

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) offered as sacrifices, two horned rams, black and white in color. He slaughtered them with his own hands and mentioned Allah’s Name over them and said Takbir and put his foot on their sides.

আনাস (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম দু’টি সাদা-কালো রং এর শিং ওয়ালা ভেড়া কুরবানী করেন। তিনি ভেড়া দু’টির পার্শ্বে তাঁর পা রেখে ‘বিসমিল্লাহি আল্লাহু আকবার’ বলে স্বহস্তেসেই দু’টিকে যবহ্ করেন। [৫৫৫৩]

ہم سے قتیبہ نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم سے ابوعوانہ نے بیان کیا، ان سے قتادہ نے اور ان سے انس رضی اللہ عنہ نے بیان کیا کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے سینگ والے دو چتکبرے مینڈھوں کی قربانی کی۔ انہیں اپنے ہاتھ سے ذبح کیا۔ بسم اللہ اور اللہ اکبر پڑھا اور اپنا پاؤں ان کی گردن کے اوپر رکھ کر ذبح کیا۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Qutaibah] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu 'Awanah] dari [Qatadah] dari [Anas] dia berkata; Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam berkurban dengan dua ekor domba yang warna putihnya lebih dominan di banding warna hitamnya, dan bertanduk, beliau menyembelih domba tersebut dengan tangan beliau sendiri sambil menyebut nama Allah dan bertakbir dan meletakkan kaki beliau di atas rusuk domba tersebut

Enes r.a.'den şöyle dediği rivayet edilmiştir: "Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem boynuzlu, alaca beyaz tüylü iki koç kurban etti. Onları kendi eliyle kesti, besmele çekti, tekbir getirdi ve bir ayağını onların boyunlarına yakın yere koydu

Sahih al-Bukhari 5565, Book 73, Al-Adha Festival Sacrifice (Adaahi), Hadith 21. 1 min read

What it means

Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) slaughtered, with his hand on the day of Eid al-Ad'ha, two male sheep with white horns mixed with black, and said: Bismillāh (in the name of Allah) and Allāhu Akbar; and he placed his foot on their necks.

What it teaches

  • ’Ud'hiyah (animal sacrifice) is prescribed in the Shariah, something Muslims unanimously agree upon.
  • It is preferable that ’Ud'hiyah be of the same type with which the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) offered ’Ud'hiyah, given its good appearance and more tasty fat and meat.
  • An-Nawawi said: It is recommended that a person slaughter his ’Ud'hiyah by himself and not delegate someone else to slaughter it unless there is an excuse for that, in which case it is recommended that he witness its slaughter. However, it is indisputably permissible for him to delegate a Muslim to do so.
  • Ibn Hajar said: It indicates that it is recommended to say Takbīr along with mention of Allah's name while slaughtering, and it is recommended to place one’s foot on the right side of the neck of the sacrificial animal. They agreed that it should be laid down on its left side, so that he places his foot on the right side to make it easier for the slaughterer to take the knife with his right hand and hold its head with his left hand.
  • It is recommended to sacrifice a horned animal, though it is permissible to sacrifice an unhorned one.
