Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، سَمِعْتُ قَتَادَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَذْبَحُ أُضْحِيَّتَهُ بِيَدِهِ وَاضِعًا قَدَمَهُ عَلَى صِفَاحِهَا .
Translation
Muḥammad ibn Bashshār narrated to us: Muḥammad ibn Jaʿfar narrated to us: Shuʿbah narrated to us: I heard Qatādah relate from Anas ibn Mālik, who said: I saw the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) slaughter his sacrificial animal with his own hand, placing his foot against its side.
