2809 - حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ الْمَكِّيِّ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «نَحَرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَّةِ الْبَدَنَةَ عَنْ سَبْعَةٍ، وَالْبَقَرَةَ عَنْ سَبْعَةٍ»

Commentary
1. The Hadīth confirms that slaughtering the cow, the ox, the camel and the she-camel for sacrifice is proven from the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. 2. As for the cow as a sacrifice, seven people can share it for a Hadī and Udhiyyah. As for the camel, however, seven people can share it for a Hadī, and ten can share it for Udhiyyah as proven from other narrations. See no. 1501 of Jāmi' At-Tirmidhī.
