حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ كَانَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُضَحِّيَ اشْتَرَى كَبْشَيْنِ عَظِيمَيْنِ سَمِينَيْنِ أَقْرَنَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ مَوْجُوءَيْنِ فَذَبَحَ أَحَدَهُمَا عَنْ أُمَّتِهِ لِمَنْ شَهِدَ لِلَّهِ بِالتَّوْحِيدِ وَشَهِدَ لَهُ بِالْبَلاَغِ وَذَبَحَ الآخَرَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ .

Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā narrated to us: ʿAbd al-Razzāq narrated to us: Sufyān al-Thawrī informed us, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAqīl, from Abū Salamah, from ʿĀʾishah and from Abū Hurayrah, that when the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to offer a sacrifice, he would buy two large, fat, horned, speckled, castrated rams. He would slaughter one on behalf of his community, for everyone who affirmed that God is one and bore witness that he had conveyed the message, and slaughter the other on behalf of Muḥammad and the family of Muḥammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
