Verily, my prayer, my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of all that exists. He has no partner. And of this I have been commanded, and I am the first of the Muslims.

He said, "I had only prohibited them for the people who were present at that time from the dwellers of the outskirts, so that they could distribute the meat amongst themselves. But now, let them eat and save it." – Sound Chain

ʿAffān b. Muslim > Hammām > Qatādah > al-Ḥasan > Samurah

About the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "Every newborn is pledged with its sacrificial animal. It is slaughtered on its seventh day, and it is shaved and named." Qatadah used to describe the blood and say: "When the sacrificial animal is slaughtered, a wool is taken and the edges of the animal are wiped with it. Then, it is placed on the forehead of the baby until the blood flows resembling a thin string. After that, the baby's head is washed, and then it is shaved." Affan said: Aban informed us with this hadith and said: Abdullah said, "And I do not consider it obligatory." – Sound Chain

There are two characteristics that I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Allah has decreed that everything should be done in a good way, so when you kill use a good method. The version of the narrators other than Muslim says: "So kill in a good manner." And when you slaughter, you should use a good method, for one of you should sharpen his knife, and give the animal as little pain as possible. – Sound Chain
