Mukhtasar Muslim

Narrated from Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ordered for a ram with horns to be brought, one that walked in black, sat in black, and looked in black (meaning its feet, belly, and eyes were black). Then such a ram was brought for sacrifice, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “O Aisha! Bring the knife.” Then he said, “Sharpen it with a stone.” I sharpened it. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) took the knife, caught the ram, laid it down, and at the time of slaughter said, “In the name of Allah, O Allah! Accept this from Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), from the family of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and from the Ummah of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).” Then he sacrificed it.
