الْحَدِيثُ الْخَامِسُ: عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ: { رَأَيْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ أَتَى عَلَى رَجُلٍ قَدْ أَنَاخَ بَدَنَتَهُ ، فَنَحَرَهَا . فَقَالَ ابْعَثْهَا قِيَامًا مُقَيَّدَةً سُنَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ } .

Ziyad bin Jubayr narrates: I saw Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) come upon a man who had made his camel sit down and then sacrificed it. He said: Sacrifice it standing, tied, according to the Sunnah of Muhammad ﷺ.
Explanation of the words:
أناح: Among the Arabs, the sound “nakh” was specifically used to make a camel sit down. / Third person masculine singular, active past tense verb, from Bab Ifal.
Explanation of the hadith:
Sacrificing a camel by making it stand and tying its knee is the Sunnah of the Messenger ﷺ and the practice of the Companions, as it is mentioned in one narration that the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) used to sacrifice a camel by making it stand and tying its left knee.
