Hadith 43
The Rites of Hajj (Kitab Al-Manasik Wa'l-Hajj)
Ka’ab bin ‘Ujrah said that the Messenger of Allaah(ﷺ) said to him, If you like sacrifice an animal or if you like fast three days or if you like give three sa’s of dates to six poor people.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ لَهُ
إِنْ شِئْتَ فَانْسُكْ نَسِيكَةً وَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَصُمْ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَأَطْعِمْ ثَلاَثَةَ آصُعٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ لِسِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ
