2306 - حَدَّثَنَا عِصْمَةُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فِرَاسٍ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ الصَّيْرَفِيُّ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا حَرَمِيُّ بْنُ عُمَارَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زَرْبِيٌّ، إِمَامُ مَسْجِدِ هِشَامِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِيرِينَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الشَّاةُ مِنْ دَوَابِّ الْجَنَّةِ»

Commentary
It means it is a lawful animal. Its meat and milk is benefiting. Therefore, the goats should be bred and kept as livestock, and their meat and milk should be consumed. It may also mean that some of these animals are slaughtered and offered in the Name of Allāh and sacrificed at the occasion of 'Eid'; and these actions become a source of achieving Paradise. One narrator in the chain of this Hadith, Zarbi bin 'Abdullāh, is Weak, and Imām Albānī did not mention this Hadith in Da'if Ibn Mājah. Therefore, its benefits have been mentioned. [I would like to say: This Hadith is authentic; therefore Shaikh Albānī did not mention it in Da'if Ibn Mājah; but he mentioned it to be authentic in Sahihul-Jāmi As-Saghir wa Ziyādatuh: 3619 and also in Silsilatul-Ahādīthus As-Sahīhah: 1128 – Usmani]
