Bab 26
باب أَضَاحِيِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
Chapter: The sacrifices of the Messenger of Allah (saws)

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ، حَدَّثَنِي الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ صَيَّادٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ الأَنْصَارِيَّ كَيْفَ كَانَتِ الضَّحَايَا فِيكُمْ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ فِي عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يُضَحِّي بِالشَّاةِ عَنْهُ وَعَنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ فَيَأْكُلُونَ وَيُطْعِمُونَ ثُمَّ تَبَاهَى النَّاسُ فَصَارَ كَمَا تَرَى ‏.‏

It was
narrated that ‘Ata’ bin Yasar said: “I asked Abu Ayyub
Al-
Ansari: ‘How were sacrifices offered among you at the time of
the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)?’ He said: ‘At the time of the
Prophet (ﷺ),
a man would sacrifice a sheep on behalf of himself and
the members of
his household, and they would eat some of it and give
some to others.
Then people started to compete and it because as you
see (nowadays).’”
