English

Jabir ibn Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sacrificed two rams on the day of Eid. When he faced them, he said, 'Indeed, I have turned my face toward He who created the heavens and the earth...' (Qur’an 6:79). Then he said, 'O Allah, this is from You and for You, on behalf of Muhammad and his Ummah.' Then he recited Allah’s name, said the takbir, and slaughtered them." [Narrated by Al-Tahawi] Ahmad, Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah, and Al-Darimi narrated something similar.
