Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى الرَّازِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ ذَبَحَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَوْمَ الذَّبْحِ كَبْشَيْنِ أَقْرَنَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ مُوجَأَيْنِ فَلَمَّا وَجَّهَهُمَا قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنِّي وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِي فَطَرَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ عَلَى مِلَّةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَنِيفًا وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ إِنَّ صَلاَتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحْيَاىَ وَمَمَاتِي لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَبِذَلِكَ أُمِرْتُ وَأَنَا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ اللَّهُمَّ مِنْكَ وَلَكَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَأُمَّتِهِ بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ ذَبَحَ ‏.‏

Translation

Ibrahim ibn Musa al-Razi narrated to us: Isa narrated to us: Muhammad ibn Ishaq narrated to us, from Yazid ibn Abi Habib, from Abu Ayyash, from Jabir ibn Abdullah, who said: On the Day of Sacrifice, the Prophet slaughtered two horned, mottled-white, castrated rams. When he positioned them for sacrifice, he said, ‘I have turned my face toward the One who originated the heavens and the earth, inclining toward the truth, and I am not one of the polytheists. Indeed, my prayer, my sacrifice, my life and my death belong to Allah, Lord of all worlds. He has no partner. This is what I have been commanded, and I am among those who submit. O Allah, it is from You and for You, on behalf of Muhammad and his community. In the name of Allah; Allah is greatest.’ Then he slaughtered them.
