حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ
خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ
أَبِي قِلَابَةَ ، عَنْ
أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ ، قَالَ
خَالِدٌ وَأَحْسَبُنِي قَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ عَنْ
أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ ، عَنْ
نُبَيْشَةَ ، رَجُلٍ مِنْ هُذَيْلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " إِنِّي كُنْتُ
نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ لُحُومِ الْأَضَاحِيِّ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثٍ كَيْمَا تَسَعَكُمْ فَقَدْ جَاءَ اللَّهُ بِالْخَيْرِ ، فَكُلُوا ، وَادَّخِرُوا ، وَاتَّجِرُوا ، وَإِنَّ هَذِهِ الْأَيَّامَ أَيَّامُ أَكْلٍ وَشُرْبٍ وَذِكْرٍ لِلَّهِ " . فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّا كُنَّا نَعْتِرُ عَتِيرَةً فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فِي رَجَبٍ ، فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا ؟ فَقَالَ
" اذْبَحُوا لِلَّهِ فِي أَيِّ شَهْرٍ مَا كَانَ ، وَبَرُّوا اللَّهَ وَأَطْعِمُوا " . فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّا كُنَّا نُفَرِّعُ فَرَعًا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ، فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا ؟ قَالَ : فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :
" فِي كُلِّ سَائِمَةٍ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ فَرَعٌ تَغْذُوهُ غَنَمُكَ ، حَتَّى إِذَا اسْتَحْمَلَ ، ذَبَحْتَهُ ، فَتَصَدَّقْتَ بِلَحْمِهِ عَلَى ابْنِ السَّبِيلِ ، فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ هُوَ خَيْرٌ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Nubaisha (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "We forbade you from eating the meat of sacrifice for more than three days so that it would reach all of you. Now Allah has granted abundance, so eat it, store it, and trade in it. And remember that the days of Tashreeq are days of eating, drinking, and remembering Allah."
It is narrated from Hazrat Nubaisha (may Allah be pleased with him) that once people asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "O Messenger of Allah, in the days of ignorance we used to offer a sacrifice in the month of Rajab. What do you command us regarding this?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You may slaughter in the name of Allah in whichever month you wish. Do good deeds for the sake of Allah and feed the people."
Another man asked: "O Messenger of Allah, in the days of ignorance we used to slaughter the firstborn of our animals. What do you command us regarding this?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Every grazing animal has a firstborn which you feed and water. When it becomes capable of bearing a load, you may slaughter it and give its meat in charity. He (peace and blessings be upon him) probably said this for the traveler, that this is better for you."
