Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 5962

عَنْ أَبِي الْأَشَدِّ السُّلَمِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ : كُنْتُ سَابِعَ سَبْعَةٍ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : فَأَمَرَنَا فَجُمِعَ لِكُلٍّ مِنَّا دِرْهَمٌ فَاشْتَرَيْنَا أُضْحِيَةً بِسَبْعَةِ الدَّرَاهِمِ فَقُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، لَقَدْ أَغْلَيْنَا بِهَا . فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " إِنَّ أَفْضَلَ الضَّحَايَا أَغْلَاهَا وَأَسْمَنُهَا " . فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَأَخَذَ رَجُلٌ بِرِجْلٍ ، وَرَجُلٌ بِرِجْلٍ ، وَرَجُلٌ بِيَدٍ ، وَرَجُلٌ بِيَدٍ ، وَرَجُلٌ بِقَرْنٍ ، وَرَجُلٌ بِقَرْنٍ ، وَذَبَحَ السَّابِعُ ، وَكَبَّرْنَا عَلَيْهَا جَمِيعًا .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَأَبُو الْأَسَدِ لَمْ أَجِدْ مَنْ وَثَّقَهُ ، وَلَا جَرَّحَهُ ، وَكَذَلِكَ أَبَوْهُ ، وَقِيلَ : إِنَّ جَدَّهُ عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبَسَةَ .
قُلْتُ : وَتَأْتِي أَحَادِيثُ فِي جَوَازِ ذَلِكَ فِي أُضْحِيَةِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ .
Abu al-Ashadd al-Sulami narrates from his father that his grandfather said: I was one of seven persons present with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The narrator says: He ordered us, so each of us collected one dirham, and then we bought a sacrificial animal for seven dirhams. We said: "O Messenger of Allah! We have bought it at a high price." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The most virtuous sacrificial animal is the one that is the most expensive and the fattest." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the order: one man held one leg, one man held the other leg, one held one foreleg, one held the other foreleg, one held one horn, one held the other horn, and the seventh slaughtered it, and all of us said the takbir over that animal.
Ahmad recorded it. I did not find anyone who declared the narrator Abu al-Asad trustworthy or criticised him, and the same is the case with his father. According to one view, his grandfather is Sayyiduna Amr bin Abasah (may Allah be pleased with him). (Allamah Haythami says:) I say: Hadiths on the permissibility of this will come in the chapter on the sacrifice of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), if Allah wills.
