3121. It was narrated that Jābir bin 'Abdullāh said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ sacrificed two rams on the Day of 'Eid. When he turned them to face towards the prayer direction he said: 'Verily, I have turned my
face towards Him Who has created the heavens and the earth, as a monotheist, and I am not of the polytheists. Verily, my prayer, my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allāh, the Lord of all that exists. He has no partner. And of this I have been commanded, and I am the first of the Muslims.[1] O Allāh, from You and to You, on behalf of Muhammad and his nation.””(Hasan)
