كتاب الضحاياBook: On the Explanation of Sacrifices
بَابُ الشِّرْكَةِ فِي الضَّحَايَاPartnership in sacrificial animals
Hadith 1069
وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ صَيَّادٍ ، أَنَّ عَطَاءَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ أَخْبَرَهُ، قَالَ : " كُنَّا نُضَحِّي بِالشَّاةِ الْوَاحِدَةِ يَذْبَحُهَا الرَّجُلُ عَنْهُ، وَعَنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ، ثُمَّ تَبَاهَى النَّاسُ بَعْدُ فَصَارَتْ مُبَاهَاةً " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Amarah bin Sayyad that Ata bin Yasar informed him, having heard from Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), who used to say: We used to offer one goat as sacrifice on behalf of ourselves and all our household, but later, considering it a matter of pride, people started offering one goat for each individual.
