Arabic text

3162 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَهِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ سِبَاعِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ كُرْزٍ، قَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «عَنِ الْغُلَامِ شَاتَانِ مُكَافِئَتَانِ، وَعَنِ الْجَارِيَةِ شَاةٌ»

Commentary

There are many opinions concerning the meaning of the word Mukaf'atan (of equal). i) Equal in age. ii) They should be slaughtered equally, i.e., at the same time (slaughtering time should not be different such as one is slaughtered in the morning and the other in the evening). iii) They should be equal to the sacrificial animal. Imâm Ibn Hajar ﷺ, preferred the second opinion. (Fathul-Bâri, vol.9, 733)
