It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is no Fara’ and no ‘Atirah. Ibn Shihab said: Fara’ refers to the first offspring born, which the people of ignorance used to slaughter, and the sacrifice of Rajab is called ‘Atirah.
