1752. It was reported from Qatādah, that he heard Abū Ḥassān report from Ibn 'Abbās that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ prayed Zuhr in Dhul-Hulaifah, then called for a camel. He marked it (slit it) on the top of its right hump, and removed (some of) its blood,[2] and tied two sandals around it. He was then brought his (riding) camel. After he had sat on it and stood up with it, at Al-Baidā', he announced his Ihram for Hajj (with the Talbiyah). (Sahih)
1752 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، وَحَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْمَعْنَى، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ " أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا حَسَّانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ بِذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِبَدَنَةٍ فَأَشْعَرَهَا مِنْ صَفْحَةِ سَنَامِهَا الْأَيْمَنِ، ثُمَّ سَلَتَ عَنْهَا الدَّمَ وَقَلَّدَهَا بِنَعْلَيْنِ، ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِرَاحِلَتِهِ فَلَمَّا قَعَدَ عَلَيْهَا وَاسْتَوَتْ بِهِ عَلَى الْبَيْدَاءِ أَهَلَّ بِالْحَجِّ».

[1] This marking was done so that it will be known that this animal is dedicated for sacrifice.
[2] They did this to make its blood flow out from there, as a way of visibly marking it.
Marking (Al-Ash'ar) means making a small incision on the right side of a camel's hump, and allowing the blood to drain down. Al-Baidā' is the upper portion of the southern part of Dhul-Hulaifah. A traveller would pass by it on his way to Makkah.
