وَعَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْطَاهُ غَنَمًا يقسمها على صحابته ضحايا فَبَقيَ عتود فَذكره لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «ضَحِّ بِهِ أَنْتَ» وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أصابني جذع قَالَ: «ضح بِهِ»
Uqbah ibn Amir said the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) gave him some goats to divide among his friends as sacrificial animals, and a yearling remained over. He mentioned it to God’s Messenger, and he said, “Sacrifice it yourself.” In a version he said he told God’s Messenger he had got a lamb, and he replied, “Sacrifice it.”
