Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ مُحَارِبِ بْنِ دِثَارٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَمَّا قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ نَحَرَ جَزُورًا أَوْ بَقَرَةً‏.‏ زَادَ مُعَاذ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ مُحَارِبٍ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ اشْتَرَى مِنى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَعِيرًا بِوَقِيَّتَيْنِ وَدِرْهَمٍ أَوْ دِرْهَمَيْنِ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ صِرَارًا أَمَرَ بِبَقَرَةٍ فَذُبِحَتْ فَأَكَلُوا مِنْهَا، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ آتِيَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَأُصَلىَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، وَوَزَنَ لِي ثَمَنَ الْبَعِيرِ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad told me: Wakiʿ informed us, from Shuʿba, from Muharib ibn Dithar, from Jabir ibn ʿAbd Allah (may Allah be pleased with them both), that when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) arrived in Medina, he sacrificed a camel or a cow. Muʿadh added, from Shuʿba, from Muharib, who heard Jabir ibn ʿAbd Allah say: The Prophet (ﷺ) bought a camel from me for two uqiyyas and one dirham—or two dirhams. When he arrived at Sirar, he ordered a cow to be slaughtered, and they ate from it. When he arrived in Medina, he ordered me to go to the mosque and pray two rakʿas, and he weighed out the price of the camel for me.

Translation notes
  • The Arabic preserves alternatives for the animal slaughtered at Medina (camel or cow) and for the additional payment (one or two dirhams). A separate route attributed through Muʿadh adds the purchase, slaughter at Sirar, prayer, and payment details.
