Jami' at-Tirmidhi 1495

Translation

That 'Ali used to slaughter two male sheep, one for the Prophet ﷺ and the other for himself. When this was mentioned to him, he said: "He ordered me to" - meaning the Prophet ﷺ - "So I will never leave it."

Notes

• قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ شَرِيكٍ وَقَدْ رَخَّصَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَنْ يُضَحَّى عَنِ الْمَيِّتِ وَلَمْ يَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَنْ يُضَحَّى عَنْهُ وَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ أَنْ يُتَصَدَّقَ عَنْهُ وَلاَ يُضَحَّى عَنْهُ وَإِنْ ضَحَّى فَلاَ يَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا وَيَتَصَدَّقْ بِهَا كُلِّهَا قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ غَيْرُ شَرِيكٍ قُلْتُ لَهُ أَبُو الْحَسْنَاءِ مَا اسْمُهُ فَلَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ قَالَ مُسْلِمٌ اسْمُهُ الْحَسَنُ

  لم أجد في التضحية عن الميت منفردا حديثا مرفوعا صحيحا وأما حديث علي المذكور في هذا الباب فضعيف

  machine translationI have not found any sound raised (marfūʿ) hadith on sacrificing on behalf of the dead alone. As for the hadith of ʿAlī mentioned in this chapter, it is weak (ḍaʿīf). Report a problem

  تفرد به شريك بن عبد الله بإسناده وهو وإن ثبت يدل على جواز الأضحية عمن خرج من دار الدنيا من المسلمين

  machine translationSharīk b. ʿAbdullāh was alone in narrating it with its chain. Even if it were established, it would indicate that it is permissible to sacrifice on behalf of those Muslims who have departed from this world. Report a problem
