حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ
كَانَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُضَحِّيَ اشْتَرَى كَبْشَيْنِ عَظِيمَيْنِ سَمِينَيْنِ أَقْرَنَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ مَوْجُوءَيْنِ فَذَبَحَ أَحَدَهُمَا عَنْ أُمَّتِهِ لِمَنْ شَهِدَ لِلَّهِ بِالتَّوْحِيدِ وَشَهِدَ لَهُ بِالْبَلاَغِ وَذَبَحَ الآخَرَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ

It was narrated from ‘Aishah and Abu Hurairah that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wanted to offer a sacrifice, he brought two large, fat, horned, black-and-white, castrated rams. He slaughtered one on behalf of his nation, for whoever testified to Allah with monotheism and that he had conveyed (the Message), and he slaughtered the other on behalf of Muhammad and the family of Muhammad ﷺ.

يرويه عبد الله بن محمد بن عقيل عن أبي سلمة عن أبي هريرة أو عائشة وخالفه حماد بن سلمة رواه عن عبد الله بن محمد بن عقيل عن عبد الرحمن بن جابر عن جابر وقال مبارك بن فضالة عن ابن عقيل عن جابر وقال عبيد الله بن عمرو عن ابن عقيل عن علي بن الحسين عن أبي رافع وقال ابن عيينة سمعت ابن عقيل يحدث بهذا الحديث وأسنده فلم أحفظه عمن هو قال ضحى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الحديث والاضطراب فيه من ابن عقيل
machine translationʿAbdullāh b. Muḥammad b. ʿAqīl narrates it from Abū Salamah from Abū Hurayrah or ʿĀʾishah. Ḥammād b. Salamah contradicted him, narrating it from ʿAbdullāh b. Muḥammad b. ʿAqīl from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Jābir from Jābir. Mubārak b. Fuḍālah said: from Ibn ʿAqīl from Jābir. ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿAmr said: from Ibn ʿAqīl from ʿAlī b. al-Ḥusayn from Abū Rāfiʿ. Ibn ʿUyaynah said: I heard Ibn ʿAqīl narrate this hadith and he traced it back with a chain, but I did not memorise from whom. He said: the Messenger of God ﷺ sacrificed... the hadith. The inconsistency (iḍṭirāb) in it comes from Ibn ʿAqīl.
