Sulaymān b. Salm al-Balkhī Thiqah > al-Naḍr > Shuʿbah > Mālik b. Anas > Ibn Muslim > Saʿīd b. al-Musayyib > Um Salamah

"Whoever sees the new crescent of Dhul-Hijjah and wants to offer a sacrifice, let him not remove any of his hair or nails until he has offered the sacrifice."

أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ سَلْمٍ الْبَلْخِيُّ ثِقَةٌ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ عَنْ ابْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ رَأَى هِلَالَ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُضَحِّيَ فَلَا يَأْخُذُ مِنْ شَعْرِهِ وَلَا مِنْ أَظْفَارِهِ حَتَّى يُضَحِّيَ»

Muḥammad b. ʿAbdullāh b. al-Ḥakam > Shuʿayb > al-Layth > Khālid > Ibn Abū Hilāl > ʿAmr b. Muslim > Ibn al-Musayyib

Um Salama, the wife of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , informed him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever intends to offer a sacrifice (on the day of Eid), let him not remove anything from his nails or hair in the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah." Abu Abdur Rahman Amr ibn Muslim ibn Ammar ibn Ukaimeh, who was also known as Umar or Amr, narrated this Hadith. He was a resident of Medina.

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي هِلَالٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ

أَنَّ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُضَحِّيَ فَلَا يَقْلِمْ مِنْ أَظْفَارِهِ وَلَا يَحْلِقْ شَيْئًا مِنْ شَعْرِهِ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَّلِ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَمْرُو بْنُ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ عَمَّارِ بْنِ أُكَيْمَةَ وَقَدِ اخْتُلِفَ فِي اسْمِهِ فَقِيلَ عُمَرُ وَقِيلَ عَمْرٌو وَهُوَ مَدَنِيٌّ

ʿAlī b. Ḥujr > Sharīk

"Whoever wants to offer a sacrifice when dhul-Hijjah begins, let him not remove anything from his hair or nails." I (the narrator) mentioned that to 'Ikrimah, and he said: "Should he not also keep away from women and perfume?"

أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شَرِيكٌ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ الْأَحْلَافِيِّ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ قَالَ

«مَنْ أَرَادَ الْثَّجَّ فَدَخَلَتْ أَيَّامُ الْعَشْرِ فَلَا يَأْخُذُ مِنْ شَعْرِهِ وَلَا أَظْفَارِهِ» فَذَكَرْتُهُ لِعِكْرِمَةَ فَقَالَ أَلَا يَعْتَزِلُ النِّسَاءَ وَالطِّيبَ

"when the (first) ten (days of Dhul-Jijjah) begin, and one of you wants to offer a sacrifice, let him not remove anything from his hair or skin."

أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا دَخَلَتِ الْعَشْرُ فَأَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يُضَحِّيَ فَلَا يَمَسَّ مِنْ شَعْرِهِ وَلَا مِنْ بَشَرِهِ شَيْئًا»

Yūnus b. ʿAbd al-Aʿlá > Ibn Wahb > Saʿīd b. Abū Ayyūb Wadhakar Ākharīn > ʿAyyāsh b. ʿAbbās al-Qitbānī

"I have been instructed to take the Day of Sacrifice as an 'Id which Allah, the Might and Sublime, has ordained for this Ummah." The man said: "What do you think if I cannot find anything but a female sheep that has been loaned to me so that I may benefit from its milk - should I sacrifice it?" He said: "No. Rather cut something from your hair and your nails, trim your mustache and shave your pubic hairs, and you will have a complete reward with Allah, the Might and Sublime, as if you had offered the sacrifice."

أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ وَذَكَرَ آخَرِينَ عَنْ عَيَّاشِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ الْقِتْبَانِيِّ عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ هِلَالٍ الصَّدَفِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ «أُمِرْتُ بِيَوْمِ الْأَضْحَى عِيدًا جَعَلَهُ اللهُ لِهَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ» فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ أَجِدْ إِلَّا مَنِيحَةً أُنْثَى أَفَأُضَحِّي بِهَا؟ قَالَ «لَا وَلَكِنْ تَأْخُذُ مِنْ شَعْرِكَ وَتُقَلِّمُ أَظْفَارَكَ وَتَقُصُّ شَارِبَكَ وَتَحْلِقُ عَانَتَكَ فَذَلِكَ تَمَامُ ضَحِيَّتِكَ عِنْدَ اللهِ»

Muḥammad b. ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAbd al-Ḥakam > Shuʿayb > al-Layth > Kathīr b. Farqad > Nāfiʿ > ʿAbdullāh

Abdullah (bin Umar) told him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to offer sacrifice in the prayer place.

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ عَنِ اللَّيْثِ عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ «يَذْبَحُ أَوْ يَنْحَرُ بِالْمُصَلَّى»

ʿAlī b. ʿUthmān al-Nufaylī al-Ḥarrānī > Saʿīd b. ʿĪsá > al-Mufaḍḍal > ʿAbdullāh b. Sulaymān > Nāfiʿ > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUmar

the Messenger of Allah offered the sacrifice obn the Day of Sacrifice in Al-Madinah. He said: "if he did not offer the Nahr (sacrifice a camel) he would have offered Dhabihah (Sacrificed a sheep) at the prayer place."

أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُثْمَانُ النُّفَيْلِيُّ الْحَرَّانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عِيسَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُفَضَّلُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي نَافِعٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَحَرَ يَوْمَ الْأَضْحَى بِالْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ «وَقَدْ كَانَ إِذَا لَمْ يَنْحَرْ ذَبَحَ بِالْمُصَلَّى»

Hannād b. al-Sarī > Abū al-Aḥwaṣ > al-Aswad b. Qays > Jundub b. Sufyān

I was with Messenger of Allah ﷺ (on the occasion) of 'Id al-Adha. After he had completed the prayer with people, he found that the goats had been slaughtered, whereupon he said: He who slaughtered sacrificial animal before the prayer should slaughter a goat (again) in its stead and he who has not slaughtered he should slaughter it by reciting the name of Allah.

أَخْبَرَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ جُنْدُبِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ

شَهِدْتُ أَضْحَى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ رَأَى غَنَمًا قَدْ ذُبِحَتْ فَقَالَ «مَنْ ذَبَحَ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ فَلْيَذْبَحْ شَاةً مَكَانَهَا وَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ ذَبَحَ فَلْيَذْبَحْ عَلَى اسْمِ اللهِ»

"IU said to Al-Bara bin Azib: 'Tell me of the sacrificial animals that the Messenger of Allah disliked or forbade, He said: The Messenger of Allah stood up, and my hands are shorter than his, and he said: "There are four that will not do as sacrifices: the animals that clearly has one bad eye: the sick animals that is obviously sick; the lame animal with an obvious limp; and the animal that is so emaciated that it is as if three is no marrow in its bones."' I said: "I dislike that the animals should have some fault in its horns or teeth' He said;'what you dislike, forget about it and do not make it for bidden to anyone.""

“I heard ‘Ubaid bin Fairuz say: ‘I said to Bara’ bin ‘Azib: “Tell us of the sacrificial animals that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ disliked or forbade.” He said: “Allah’s Messenger ﷺ said like this with his hand. And my hand is shorter than his hand:* ‘There are four that will not be accepted as sacrifices: The one-eyed animal that is obviously blind in one eye; the sick animal that is obviously sick; the lame animal with an obvious limp; and the animal that is so emaciated that it is as if there is no marrow in its bones.’” He said:** “And I dislike that the animal should have some fault in its ears.” He said: “What you dislike, forget about it and do not make it forbidden to anyone.”
