Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، أَخْبَرَنِي قَتَادَةُ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا، قَالَ ضَحَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِكَبْشَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ أَقْرَنَيْنِ يُكَبِّرُ وَيُسَمِّي وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ يَذْبَحُهُمَا بِيَدِهِ وَاضِعًا عَلَى صِفَاحِهِمَا قَدَمَهُ ‏ .‏ قُلْتُ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏

Translation

Anas reported that the Messenger of Allah sacrificed two white, horned rams, declaring Allah greatest and invoking His name. I saw him slaughter them with his own hand, with his foot against their sides. I asked: Did you hear this directly from him? He said: Yes.
