Hadith 25843

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ , قَالَ : أَنَا سُفْيَانُ , عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ , عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ , أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ , قَالَتْ : " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا ضَحَّى , اشْتَرَى كَبْشَيْنِ عَظِيمَيْنِ سَمِينَيْنِ أَقْرَنَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ مَوْجُوءَيْنِ , قَالَ : فَيَذْبَحُ أَحَدَهُمَا عَنْ أُمَّتِهِ مِمَّنْ أَقَرَّ بِالتَّوْحِيدِ وَشَهِدَ لَهُ بِالْبَلَاغِ , وَيَذْبَحُ الْآخَرَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to offer a sacrifice, he would purchase two rams that were fat, healthy, horned, beautiful, and castrated. He would slaughter one of them on behalf of those people of his Ummah who remained firm on the declaration of the Oneness of Allah and bore witness that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had conveyed the message of Allah, and the other animal he would sacrifice on behalf of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and the family of Muhammad.
