It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zaid bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) that the people said: O Messenger of Allah! What is the reality of these sacrifices? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is the tradition of your father Ibrahim (peace be upon him). They said: What will we get from them? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: For every hair, a good deed. They said: O Messenger of Allah! What about wool? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: For every hair of it as well, a good deed will be given.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mukhnif bin Qais (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when he was standing at Arafat. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O people! Every year, sacrifice (Qurbani) and ‘Atirah are obligatory upon every household. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Do you know what ‘Atirah is? Ibn ‘Aun, the narrator, says: I do not know what answer the people gave to this question. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is the same which people call Rajabiyyah.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever, despite having the means, does not offer the sacrifice, let him not come near our Eid ground.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sacrifice has been made obligatory upon me, and it has not been made obligatory upon you; similarly, I have been commanded to perform two rak‘ahs of Duha prayer, and you have not been commanded to perform them.
