Distribution of sacrificial animals and instruction to pay the butcher
Hadith 41
41 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْكَرِيمِ الْجَزَرِيُّ سَمِعْتُ مُجَاهِدًا، سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبِي لَيْلَي يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ يَقُولُ: " أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ أَقُومَ عَلَي بُدْنِهِ، وَأَنْ أُقَسِّمَ جِلَالَهَا وَجُلُودَهَا، وَأَنْ لَا أُعْطِيَ الْجَازِرَ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا، وَقَالَ: نَحْنُ نُعْطِيهِ مِنْ عِنْدِنَا "
Abdur Rahman bin Abi Laila reports: I heard Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrate: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed me to supervise his sacrificial animals (i.e., to have them slaughtered), to distribute the cloths placed on them and their skins, and not to give anything from them to the butcher. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "We will pay him (the butcher) from our own wealth (as compensation)."
