Chapter: One who offers a sheep on behalf of his family
Hadith 3147
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ صَيَّادٍ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ : كَيْفَ كَانَتِ الضَّحَايَا فِيكُمْ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ ، قَالَ : " كَانَ الرَّجُلُ فِي عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُضَحِّي بِالشَّاةِ عَنْهُ ، وَعَنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ ، فَيَأْكُلُونَ وَيُطْعِمُونَ ثُمَّ تَبَاهَى النَّاسُ فَصَارَ كَمَا تَرَى " .
´It was narrated that ‘Ata’ bin Yasar said:` “I asked Abu Ayyub Al- Ansari: ‘How were sacrifices offered among you at the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)?’ He said: ‘At the time of the Prophet (ﷺ), a man would sacrifice a sheep on behalf of himself and the members of his household, and they would eat some of it and give some to others. Then people started to compete and it because as you see (nowadays).’”
