Hazrat Ziyad bin Jubair narrates that I saw Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) come to a man who had made his sacrificial camel sit down in Mina in order to slaughter it. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Make it stand up and, according to the Sunnah of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), tie one of its legs and then slaughter it." This narration is from Hazrat Ziyad bin Ayyub.

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sacrificed seven camels while they were standing, with his blessed hand. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that this narration of Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) is of the same type which I have mentioned in several places in my books, that a number does not negate a greater number. Therefore, the statement of Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sacrificed seven camels with his blessed hand does not prove that he did not sacrifice more than seven camels, because Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) has narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sacrificed sixty-three camels with his blessed hand.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah used to slaughter two beautiful, spotted, horned rams and would recite «‏‏‏‏بِسْمِ اللهِ، اللهُ أَكْبَرُ» ‏‏‏‏. I saw him slaughtering them with his own blessed hand; he had his foot placed on their side.

Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that I heard Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) saying. Imam Shu’bah says: I asked,“Did you hear this hadith from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him)?”He replied,“Yes, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform the sacrifice.”A narration similar to the above was reported.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent for sacrifice, in the year of the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, the camel that was obtained from Abu Jahl, and there was a silver ring in its nose. This camel was acquired by the Muslims as war booty on the day of Badr. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that the words "the camel of Abu Jahl" are of the same kind as what I have mentioned in the Book of Transactions under the chapter of Horses, that sometimes property is attributed to its former owner even though his ownership has now ended, as in the statement of Allah the Exalted: «‏‏‏‏اجْعَلُوا بِضَاعَتَهُمْ فِي رِحَالِهِمْ» ‏‏‏‏ [ سورة يوسف: 92 ] "Put their capital (money) in their goods." In this way, Allah the Exalted has attributed the wealth of the brothers of Prophet Yusuf (peace be upon him) to them, even though in exchange for that wealth they had already bought wheat and other things (and that wealth had left their ownership). I have deduced from this verse because some of our opponents think that the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "When a person becomes insolvent and the creditor finds his own property with him in its original form, then he is more entitled to it than the other creditors," means that the property referred to is that which was given as a trust or was usurped by that person, and therefore the ownership of the first owner has not yet ended (so he is more entitled to it than others). Whereas, according to Imam Ibn Khuzaymah (may Allah have mercy on him), the attribution of this property to that person is due to his being the former owner. I have explained this issue in detail in the Book of Transactions.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent the camel obtained from Abu Jahl along with the sacrificial camels in the year of the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah. There was also a silver ring in its nose. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent this camel to grieve and enrage the polytheists.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sacrificed two rams on the day of Eid al-Adha. Then, when he laid them down facing the Qiblah, he recited this verse «‏‏‏‏إِنِّي وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِي فَطَرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ حَنِيفًا ۖ وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ» ‏‏‏‏ [ سورة الأنعام: 79] "Indeed, I have turned my face towards Him who created the heavens and the earth, being ever-inclined [to Him] , and I am not of those who associate others with Allah." And he recited this verse «‏‏‏‏قُلْ إِنَّ صَلَاتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَاتِي لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ‎، لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ ۖ وَبِذَٰلِكَ أُمِرْتُ وَأَنَا أَوَّلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ» ‏‏‏‏ "Indeed, my prayer, my sacrifice, my life, and my death are all for Allah, Lord of the worlds. He has no partner, and I have been commanded with this (i.e., Tawheed), and I am the first of the Muslims." «‏‏‏‏اللَّهُمَّ مِنْكَ وَلَكَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَأُمَّتِهِ، بِسْمِ اللهِ، اللهُ أَكْبَرُ» ‏‏‏‏ [ سورة الأنعام: 163،162 ] "In the name of Allah, Allah is the Greatest. O Allah, from what You have provided, I am offering this sacrifice, seeking only Your pleasure. Accept it from Muhammad and the Ummah of Muhammad."

Even if those sharing are from different tribes and not from the same family. With the explanation that one-seventh share of a camel or a cow in sacrifice is equal to one goat.

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that we, in the company of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), participated in Hajj and Umrah with seven people sharing one camel. In the narration of Abdul Rahman, there is an addition that on that day we slaughtered seventy camels. Then, in both narrations, it is mentioned that a person asked Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), "Can seven people share a cow just as they do a camel?" He replied that a cow is also included among the sacrificial animals (badnah). Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) related this incident regarding the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah. In the narration of Abdul Rahman, it is mentioned that on that day we slaughtered one camel on behalf of seven people. The wording in the narration of Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) is that we, seven people, shared one camel and on that day we slaughtered seventy camels. The rest of the narration is the same.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates that in the year of Hudaybiyyah, we slaughtered a camel on behalf of seven people along with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), and a cow was also sacrificed on behalf of seven people.
