3147. It was narrated that 'Atá' bin Yasâr said: "I asked Abu Ayyub Al-Ansârî: 'How were sacrifices offered among you at the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ?' He said: 'At the time of the Prophet ﷺ, a man would sacrifice a sheep on behalf of himself and the members of his household, and they would eat some of it and give some to others. Then people started to compete and it became as you see (nowadays).” (Da’if)
3147 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ صَيَّادٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ: كَيْفَ كَانَتِ الضَّحَايَا فِيكُمْ، عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَ: «كَانَ الرَّجُلُ فِي عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يُضَحِّي بِالشَّاةِ عَنْهُ، وَعَنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ، فَيَأْكُلُونَ وَيُطْعِمُونَ، ثُمَّ تَبَاهَى النَّاسُ، فَصَارَ كَمَا تَرَى»

Offering more than one sacrifice is allowed. But, sacrificing many animals or precious ones out of boasting or competition, destroys the basic purpose of sacrifice and ultimately, the reward gets lost.
