It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him some sheep and goats to distribute among his companions for sacrifice. A one-year-old kid goat was left over, so he mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Sacrifice it yourself."
