It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Qabeesah Dhu’ayb (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent two sacrificial camels with him and said: If any of these animals becomes exhausted and unable to walk, and you fear for it, then slaughter it, dye its shoe in its blood, and place it on its side. Neither you yourself are to eat from it, nor any member of your group.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr bin Kharijah Thamali, may Allah be pleased with him, who says: I asked the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, about a sacrificial animal that had become unable to walk. He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Slaughter it, dye its shoe in its blood, and place it on its side, and neither you nor any member of your group should eat from it.

Ziyad bin Jubair says: I was with Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) in Mina, when he passed by a man who was slaughtering his sacrificial animal while it was sitting. So he said: Make it stand up and (slaughter it) while it is standing and tied, and follow the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), describing the manner of the Hajj of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), says: The total number of sacrificial animals of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was one hundred (100). Some of the animals were brought by Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) from Yemen, and some animals the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) himself took along. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) slaughtered sixty-three animals with his own blessed hand, then gave the remainder to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and he slaughtered them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had also included Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) in his sacrificial animals. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that a piece be taken from each camel and that they be cooked in pots. Then both of them ate the meat and drank the broth.

It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she became menstruating at the place of Sarif before reaching Makkah Mukarramah for Hajj. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: "You should perform the rites of Hajj like the other pilgrims, except that you should not perform the Tawaf of the House (Ka'bah)." She says: "When I was in Mina, beef was brought to me. I asked: 'What is this?' People informed me that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had sacrificed a cow on behalf of his wives."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent his sacrificial animals with him and instructed him to give their meat, skins, and saddles, etc., in charity.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) personally slaughtered thirty animals, and then ordered me, and I slaughtered the remaining camels. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: Distribute their meat, skins, and coverings among the people, and do not give anything from them to the butcher.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered me to look after his sacrificial animals and to give their meat, skins, and saddles in charity, and not to give anything from them to the butcher. We used to pay the butcher his wages from our own possessions.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Qatadah bin Nu’man (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said during the Farewell Pilgrimage: I had commanded you that you should not eat the meat of sacrificial animals for more than three days, so that the meat would suffice for all of you. Now I make this thing lawful for you; now you may eat this meat for as long as you wish. However, the meat of Hadi and sacrificial animals is not to be sold; eat it yourselves, give it in charity, and you may benefit from their skins, but these too are not to be sold. And if such meat is served to you, then eat it if you wish. In the narration reported from Sayyiduna Abu Sa’id (may Allah be pleased with him), it is stated: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So now eat, give in charity, and store it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We used to cut the meat of the sacrificial animals of Hajj into pieces or boil the meat and take it as provisions for our journeys, and it would nearly happen that a whole year would pass over them.
