الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ حِينَ أَمَّرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْيَمَنِ ، قَالَ : فَأَصَبْتُ مَعَهُ أَوَاقِيَ ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلِيٌّ مِنْ الْيَمَنِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : وَجَدْ فَاطِمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَدْ لَبِسَتْ ثِيَابًا صَبِيغًا وَقَدْ نَضَحَتِ الْبَيْتَ بِنَضُوحٍ ، فَقَالَتْ : مَا لَكَ ؟ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ أَمَرَ أَصْحَابَهُ فَأَحَلُّوا ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ لَهَا : إِنِّي أَهْلَلْتُ بِإِهْلَالِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ لِي : " كَيْفَ صَنَعْتَ ؟ " فَقَالَ : قُلْتُ : أَهْلَلْتُ بِإِهْلَالِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " فَإِنِّي قَدْ سُقْتُ الْهَدْيَ وَقَرَنْتُ " ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ لِي : " انْحَرْ مِنَ الْبُدْنِ سَبْعًا وَسِتِّينَ ، أَوْ سِتًّا وَسِتِّينَ ، وَأَمْسِكْ لِنَفْسِكَ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ ، أَوْ أَرْبَعًا وَثَلَاثِينَ ، وَأَمْسِكْ لِي مِنْ كُلِّ بَدَنَةٍ مِنْهَا بَضْعَةً " .
Narrated Al-Bara ibn Azib: I was with Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ appointed him to be the governor of the Yemen. I collected some ounces of gold during my stay with him. When Ali returned from the Yemen to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ he said: I found that Fatimah had put on coloured clothes and the smell of the perfume she had used was pervading the house. (He expressed his amazement at the use of coloured clothes and perfume. ) She said: What is wrong with you? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has ordered his companions to put off their ihram and they did so. Ali said: I said to her: I raised my voice in talbiyah for which the Prophet ﷺ raised his voice (i. e. I wore ihram for qiran). Then I came to the Prophet ﷺ. He asked (me): How did you do? I replied: I raised my voice in talbiyah, for which the Prophet ﷺ raised his voice. He said: I have brought the sacrificial animals with me and combined Umrah and hajj. He said to me: Sacrifice sixty-seven or sixty-six camels (for me) and withhold for yourself thirty-three or thirty-four, and withhold a piece (of flesh) for me from every camel.

Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
1797. English Commentary:
➊ In religion, the only authoritative proof is the statement and action of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam); no one else’s, regardless of how close their relationship to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) may be. For example, Fatimah (radi Allahu anha) made it clear regarding herself that she became lawful (halal) only by the command of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), but her husband could not become lawful by merely following the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
➋ Regarding the sacrifices, the most correct view is that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) himself performed sixty-three sacrifices with his own hand, and for the remainder, he instructed Ali (radi Allahu anhu), and he performed them. (Sahih Muslim, Book of Hajj, Chapter: The Hajj of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), Hadith: 1218)
