Brief Explanation
1؎ : Here, "Aal" refers to the pure wives (azwaj mutahharat), radi Allahu anhunna.
2؎ : In one cow or camel, up to seven people can share. In this Hajj, there would be seven wives with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, or, from the wording of Bukhari and Muslim «ضحى» (of sacrifice), it is understood that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam slaughtered it not as a hady (sacrificial animal for Hajj) but as a qurbani (ritual sacrifice), so he slaughtered a cow on behalf of his entire household.
