The Book of Sacrifices

Jabir reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade eating of the flesh of sacrificed animals beyond three (days). but afterwards said:

Eat, make a provision, and keep it.

Jabir b. Abdullah reported:

We did not eat the flesh of our sacrificial animals beyond three days in Mina. Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) permitted us saying: Eat and make it a provision (for journey). I asked 'Ata' whether Jabir had also said: Till we came to Medina. He said: Yes.

Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported:

We did not eat the flesh of sacrificed animals beyond three (days), but then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) commanded us to make it a provision for journey and cat it (beyond three days).

Jabir reported:

We made provision (out of the flesh of sacrificed animals for our journey) to Medina during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ).

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) having said:

O people of Medina, do not eat the flesh of sacrificed animals beyond three days. Ibn al-Muthanni said: Three days. They (the Companions of the Prophet) complained to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) that they had children and servants of theirs (to feed), whereupon he said: Eat, and feed others, and store, and make it a provision of food.

Salama b. al-Akwa' reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) having said:

He who sacrifices (animal) among you nothing should be left in his house (out of its flesh) on the morning of the third day. When it was the next year they (his Companions) said: Should we do this year as we did daring the previous year? Thereupon he said: Don't do that, for that was a year when the people were hard pressed (on account of poverty). so I wanted that the (flesh) might be distributed amongst them.

Thauban reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) slaughtered his sacrificial animal and then said:

Thauban, make his meat usable (for journey), and I continuously served him that until he arrived in Medina.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Mu'awiya b. Salih with the same chain of transmitters.

Thauban, the freed slave of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), reported:

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to me on the occasion of Hajjat-al-Wada' (the Farewell Pilgrimage): Make the flesh usable. So I made it usable (for him) and he ate it constantly until he reached Medina. This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Yabya b. Hamza with the same chain of transmitters, but he did not say: On the occasion of Hajjat-al-Wada'.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:

(The sacrifice of Fara' and 'Atira) has no (sanction in Islam). Ibn Rafi' made this addition in his narration that Fara' means the first-born young one of a camel.

Abdullah b. Buraida reported on the authority of his father that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said this:

I prohibited you from visiting the graves, but (now) you may visit them, and I prohibited you (from eating) the flesh of sacrific- ed animals beyond three days, but now keep it as long as you like. I prohibited you from the use of Nabidh except (that preoared) in dry waterskins. Now drink (Nabidh prepared in any utensil), but do not drink when it becomes intoxicant.

Ibn Buraida, on the authority of his father, reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) having said this:

I used to forbid you. The rest of the hadith is the same.

Umm Salama reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) having said this:

When any one of you intending to sacrifice the animal enters in the month (of Dhu'l-Hijja) he should not get his hair or nails touched (cut). It was said to Sufyan that some of the (scholars) did not deem this hadith to be Maffu'. He said: But I deem it as Marfu' (i. e. chain of narration traceable right up to the Prophet).

Umm Salama reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:

If anyone of you intends to offer sacrifice he should not get his hair cut or nails trimmed.

Umm Salama reported (these words) directly from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ):

If anyone has in his possession a sacrificial animal to offer as a sacrifice (on 'Id al-Adha), he should not get his hair cut and nails trimmed after he has entered the first days of Dhu'l Hijja

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of 'Amr b. Muslim with the same chain of transmitters.

Umm Salama, the wife of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to have said:

He who has a sacrificial animal with him whom (he intends) to offer as sacrifice, and he enters the month of Dhu'I-Hijja, he should not get his hair cut or nails trimmed until he has sacrificed the animal.

'Amr b. Muslim b. 'Ammar al-Laithi reported:

While we were in a bathroom just before 'Id al-Adha some of the persons tried to remove the hair with the help of hair-removing chemicals. Thereupon some of the people owning the bath (or some of the people sitting therein) said that Sa'id b. Musayyib did not approve of it, or he prohibited it. Then I met Sa'id b. Musayyib and made a mention of that to him, whereupon he said: O my nephew, this is the hadith which has been forgotten, and abandoned. Umm Salama, the wife of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), narrated to me Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) having said as narrated above.

Amr b. Muslim al-Jundani reported that Ibn Musayyib had told him that it was Umm Salama, the wife of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), who had informed him of that as narrated above.

Abu Tufail 'Amir b. Withila reported:

I was in the company of 'Ali b. Abi Talib, when a person came to him, and said: What was it that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) told you in secret? Thereupon he (liadrat 'All) was enraged and said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did not tell me anything in secret that he hid from people, except that he told me four things. He said: Com- mader of Faithful, what are these? He said: Allah cursed him who cursed his father; Allah cursed him who sacrificed for anyone besides Allah; and Allah cursed him who accommodates an innovator (in religion) ; and Allah cursed him who changed the minarets (the boundary lines) of the land.
