What could be clearer than this? Furthermore, the narrator of this tradition is Hazrat Aswad, who is among the most reliable narrators of Kufa. He is a highly esteemed student of Hazrat Abdullah ibn Mas'ud radi Allahu anhu. The Hanafis have complete trust in him. He is counted among the jurists (fuqaha) of the Tabi'in.

1755. Commentary: The original Sunnah and legislated offering (hady) to be sent to the Haram is the sacrificial animal. Now, some ignorant and uninformed people send grains for the pigeons; this is not a prescribed act in the Shari‘ah.

Benefit:
Hady refers to the animal that is sent towards the Sacred Sanctuary of Makkah (Haram Makki) for the sake of Allah’s pleasure, and this animal will be from among goats, camels, or cows. It is permissible to adorn the hady with a collar. The goat is a weak animal, so it should not be injured, but it is permissible to put a collar (qaladah) on a goat as hady. Imam Bukhari rahimahullah has established a chapter: “Chapter on Collaring Sheep (Bab Taqleed al-Ghanam),” under which he has brought (4) ahadith, numbers 1701 to 1404. Also see Fath al-Bari: 3/692.
