3120. It was narrated from Anas bin Mālik: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to sacrifice two horned, black-and-white rams and he would say the Name of Allāh and pronounce His greatness. I saw him slaughtering them with his own hand, putting his foot on their sides." (Sahih)
3120 - حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ قَتَادَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «كَانَ يُضَحِّي بِكَبْشَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ أَقْرَنَيْنِ، وَيُسَمِّي، وَيُكَبِّرُ، وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ يَذْبَحُ بِيَدِهِ وَاضِعًا قَدَمَهُ عَلَى صِفَاحِهِمَا»

During the days of 'Eidul-Adha it is compulsory on every capable person to sacrifice at least a goat, or a ram, or a cow or a part of a camel. Sacrificing more than one animal is allowed, rather it is preferable. A member of family should sacrifice the animal with his own hand. Nevertheless, authorizing someone else for slaughtering is also allowed.
