Hadith 2895
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah used to slaughter two beautiful, spotted, horned rams and would recite « بِسْمِ اللهِ ، اللهُ أَكْبَرُ ». I saw him slaughtering them with his own blessed hand; he had his foot placed on their side.
Hadith 2896
Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that I heard Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) saying. Imam Shu’bah says: I asked, “Did you hear this hadith from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him)?” He replied, “Yes, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform the sacrifice.” A narration similar to the above was reported.
