Hadith 4653

عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَبَحَ يَوْمَ الْعِيدِ كَبْشَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ حِينَ وَجَّهَهُمَا إِنِّي وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِي فَطَرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ حَنِيفًا مُسْلِمًا وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَبِذَلِكَ أُمِرْتُ وَأَنَا أَوَّلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُمَّ مِنْكَ وَلَكَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَأُمَّتِهِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sacrificed two rams on the day of Eid. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) laid them down facing the Qiblah, he recited this supplication: "Indeed, I have turned my face towards Him who created the heavens and the earth... In the name of Allah, and Allah is the Greatest. O Allah! (This is) from You and for You, on behalf of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Ummah." (Surely, I have turned my face towards that Being who created the heavens and the earth, being upright and a Muslim, and I am not among the polytheists. There is no partner with Allah; this is what I have been commanded, and I am the first of the Muslims. With the name of Allah, and Allah is the Greatest. O Allah! This animal is from You and for You, on behalf of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Ummah.)
