2810. It was reported from Al-Muṭṭalib, from Jābir bin 'Abdullāh who said: "I attended the Udhiyyah with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ at the Muṣalla. When he finished his Khuṣbah, he descended from his Minbar, and a ram was brought which the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ slaughtered with his own hands, and he said: "In the Name of Allāh, Allāh is the Most Great; this sacrifice is on behalf of me, and on behalf of those among my Ummah who did not sacrifice." (Hasan)
2810 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ يَعْنِي الْإِسْكَنْدَرَانِيَّ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: شَهِدْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْأَضْحَى بِالْمُصَلَّى، فَلَمَّا قَضَى خُطْبَتَهُ نَزَلَ مِنْ مِنْبَرِهِ وأُتِيَ بِكَبْشٍ فَذَبَحَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِهِ، وَقَالَ: «بِسْمِ اللَّهِ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، هَذَا عَنِّي، وَعَمَّنْ لَمْ يُضَحِّ مِنْ أُمَّتِي»

The fact that one goat suffices for all the members of a family is authentically proven, but it being 'on behalf of others' as well, is exclusive to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.
