Section on What Has Been Reported Regarding Command and Prohibition Concerning Fara' and 'Atirah
Hadith 4721
عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ مِخْنَفٍ قَالَ انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ قَالَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ هَلْ تَعْرِفُونَهَا قَالَ فَمَا أَدْرِي مَا رَجَعُوا عَلَيْهِ قَالَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى كُلِّ بَيْتٍ أَنْ يَذْبَحُوا شَاةً فِي كُلِّ رَجَبٍ وَكُلِّ أَضْحَى شَاةً
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Habib bin Mukhnaf (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: When I reached the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) on the day of Arafah, he (peace and blessings be upon him) was saying: "Do you know this?" I do not know what the people replied to him (peace and blessings be upon him), then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is obligatory upon every household to slaughter one goat in the month of Rajab and one goat on the occasion of Eid al-Adha."
Hadith 4722
عَنْ مِخْنَفِ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِنَحْوِهِ فَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ عَلَى أَهْلِ كُلِّ بَيْتٍ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ أُضْحِيَّةً وَعَتِيرَةً أَتَدْرُونَ مَا الْعَتِيرَةُ هِيَ الَّتِي يُسَمِّيهَا النَّاسُ الرَّجَبِيَّةَ
A similar hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Mukhnaf bin Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with him), except that in it is: O people! Indeed, every year, sacrifice (Qurbani) and ‘Atirah are obligatory upon every household. Do you know what ‘Atirah is? It is the same which people call Rajabiyyah.
Hadith 4723
عَنْ أَبِي رَزِينٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا نَذْبَحُ فِي رَجَبٍ ذَبَائِحَ فَنَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا وَنُطْعِمُ مِنْهَا مَنْ جَاءَنَا قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ وَكِيعٌ لَا أَدَعُهَا أَبَدًا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Razin (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: O Messenger of Allah! Indeed, we used to slaughter animals in the month of Rajab, we would eat from them ourselves and also feed those who came to us. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is no harm in doing so. The narrator Waki’ says: I will never abandon this practice.
Hadith 4724
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي فَرَعَةٍ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ مِنَ الْخَمْسَةِ وَاحِدَةٌ
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) commanded us regarding Fara’ that it should be one goat out of every five goats.
Hadith 4725
عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ زُرَارَةَ السَّهْمِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ جَدِّي الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ لَقِيَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ فَقُلْتُ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي قَالَ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ قَالَ وَهُوَ عَلَى نَاقَتِهِ الْعَضْبَاءِ قَالَ فَاسْتَدَرْتُ لَهُ مِنَ الشِّقِّ الْآخَرِ أَرْجُو أَنْ يَخُصَّنِي دُونَ الْقَوْمِ فَقُلْتُ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي قَالَ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ قَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْفَرَائِعُ وَالْعَتَائِرُ قَالَ مَنْ شَاءَ فَرَّعَ وَمَنْ شَاءَ لَمْ يُفَرِّعْ وَمَنْ شَاءَ عَتَرَ وَمَنْ شَاءَ لَمْ يَعْتِرْ فِي الْغَنَمِ أُضْحِيَّةٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَلَا إِنَّ دِمَاءَكُمْ وَأَمْوَالَكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ حَرَامٌ كَحُرْمَةِ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا فِي بَلَدِكُمْ هَذَا وَقَالَ عَفَّانُ مَرَّةً حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ زُرَارَةَ السُّهْمِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ جَدِّهِ الْحَارِثِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Harith bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I met the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage and said: O Messenger of Allah! May my parents be sacrificed for you, seek forgiveness for me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: May Allah forgive all of you. At that time, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was on his camel, Al-Adhba. I went around to the other side, hoping that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would make a special supplication for me, so I said again: Seek forgiveness for me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: May Allah forgive all of you people. Then a man said: O Messenger of Allah! (What about) Fara’ and ‘Atirah? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever wishes may slaughter Fara’, and whoever wishes may not; likewise, whoever wishes may slaughter ‘Atirah, and whoever wishes may not, and there is sacrifice in goats. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) then said: Beware! Indeed, your blood and your wealth are sacred to you, just as the sanctity of this day of yours in this city of yours.
Hadith 4726
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا عَتِيرَةَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ وَلَا فَرَعَ
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 neither ‘Atirah nor Fara’ in Islam.
Hadith 4727
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا فَرَعَ وَلَا عَتِيرَةَ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ وَالْفَرَعُ كَانَ أَهْلُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَذْبَحُونَ أَوَّلَ نِتَاجٍ يَكُونُ لَهُمْ وَالْعَتِيرَةُ ذَبِيحَةُ رَجَبٍ
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.
