Al-Sha'bi narrates from Hudhayfah bin Asid al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: We used to offer a single sacrifice, then people thought that it was stinginess holding us back from more, and they pushed us into abandoning the Sunnah after we had known it.

Al-Sha'bi narrates from Hudhayfah bin Asid (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I saw Abu Bakr and Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) not offering the sacrifice, for fear that people would follow them in it and make it an (obligatory) practice. Then my family drew me away from the Sunnah even though I knew it, so much so that now I offer a sacrifice on behalf of every single member.

Al-Sha'bi narrates from Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would have two piebald rams brought near. He would slaughter one of them and say: "O Allah, this is on behalf of Muhammad and the family of Muhammad"; and he would have the other brought near and say: "O Allah, this is on behalf of everyone of my Ummah who bears witness to Your Oneness and bears witness that I have conveyed the message."
