´Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:` "I attended the Eid Al-Adha' with the Prophet (ﷺ) at the Musalla. When he finished his Khutbah, he descended from his Minbar and was given a male sheep. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) slaughtered it with his hand and said: 'Bismillah, Wa Allahu Akbar, this from me and whoever does not slaughter from my Ummah.'"

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
I begin with the name of Allah, and Allah is the Greatest.
This is on my behalf and on behalf of those members of my ummah who have not performed the sacrifice.
(This last sentence is clear and explicit regarding the fact that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam performed the sacrifice on behalf of those members of his ummah who were alive and, due to necessity, were unable to perform the sacrifice themselves. Including the deceased in this is forced and unwarranted.)
Note:
(There is a difference of opinion regarding the hearing (sama‘) of this narration from Jabir radi Allahu anhu by “Muttalib,” but based on supporting evidences and corroborating narrations, this hadith is considered sahih li ghayrihi (authentic due to supporting chains), al-Irwa’ 1138, and refer to al-Albani 580.)
