3100 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ مِقْسَمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «أَهْدَى فِي بُدْنِهِ، جَمَلًا لِأَبِي جَهْلٍ، بُرَتُهُ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ»

Commentary
Most of the time a herd (of camels) consists of she-camels. So, commonly they are slaughtered as a sacrifice, but this Hadith refers to a male camel. Hence, sacrificing camels whether they are males or females is proved. They got the camel which once belonged to Abu Jahl as booty. The camel, which was seized from the leader of disbelievers, was slaughtered as a sign of being thankful to Allâh on gaining victory over disbelief. Probably, Abu Jahl might have put the silver bridle on his camel as a show of pride. The Prophet ﷺ demonstrated his submission to Allâh by slaughtering that camel.
