Jami' at-Tirmidhi 1505

Translation

"I asked Abu Abyub [Al-Ansari] how the slaughtering was done during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: 'A man would sacrifice a sheep for himself and the people in his household. They would eat from it and feed others, until the people (later) would boast about it and it became as you see now."

Notes

• قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَعُمَارَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ هُوَ مَدَنِيٌّ وَقَدْ رَوَى عَنْهُ مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ أَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَاحْتَجَّا بِحَدِيثِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ ضَحَّى بِكَبْشٍ فَقَالَ هَذَا عَمَّنْ لَمْ يُضَحِّ مِنْ أُمَّتِي وَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ لاَ تُجْزِئُ الشَّاةُ إِلاَّ عَنْ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ وَغَيْرِهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ

  machine translationAbū ʿĪsā said: This is a good and sound (ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ) hadith. ʿUmārah b. ʿAbdullāh is a Madinan, and Mālik b. Anas narrated from him. Some people of knowledge act upon this, and it is the view of Aḥmad and Isḥāq. They relied as evidence on the hadith of the Prophet ﷺ that he sacrificed a ram and said: "This is on behalf of those of my Ummah who have not sacrificed." Some of the people of knowledge said: A sheep suffices only for one person. This is the view of ʿAbdullāh b. al-Mubārak and others among the people of knowledge. Report a problem
