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."
