عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّ عَلَيَّ بَدَنَةً وَأَنَا مُوسِرٌ لَهَا وَلَا أَجِدُهَا فَأَشْتَرِيَهَا فَأَمَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَبْتَاعَ سَبْعَ شِيَاهٍ فَيَذْبَحَهُنَّ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: I owe a camel, and now I am financially able to afford it, but I am unable to find it to purchase. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed him to buy seven goats and slaughter them.
