Bayhaqi 19044 — It is Sunnah for one who intends to sacrifice

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: فَإِنْ قَالَ قَائِلٌ: مَا دَلَّ عَلَى أَنَّهُ اخْتِيَارٌ لَا وَاجِبٌ؟ يَعْنِي الْأَخْذَ مِنَ الشَّعْرِ وَالظُّفُرِ، قِيلَ لَهُ: رَوَى مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: أَنَا فَتَلْتُ قَلَائِدَ هَدْيِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِي ثُمَّ قَلَّدَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِهِ، ثُمَّ بَعَثَ بِهَا مَعَ أَبِي فَلَمْ يَحْرُمْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْءٌ أَحَلَّ اللهُ لَهُ حَتَّى نَحَرَ الْهَدْيَ. قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: وَفِي هَذِهِ دَلَالَةٌ عَلَى مَا وَصَفْتُ، وَعَلَى أَنَّ الْمَرْءَ لَا يُحْرِمُ بِالْبِعْثَةِ بِهَدْيِهِ، يَقُولُ: الْبِعْثَةُ بِالْهَدْيِ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ إِرَادَةِ الضَّحِيَّةِ.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If someone asks: What shows that it (refraining from taking from the hair and nails) is a recommended choice and not obligatory? He is told: Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I used to make the garlands for the sacrificial animals of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with my own hands; then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would garland them and send the sacrificial animals off with my father, and nothing became forbidden to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) until the sacrifice was slaughtered.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: In this is evidence for what I have described, and that a person does not enter the state of ihram merely by sending off his sacrificial animal; and sending off a sacrificial animal is weightier than merely intending to offer a sacrifice.
