3155 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ قَتَادَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «يَذْبَحُ أُضْحِيَّتَهُ بِيَدِهِ، وَاضِعًا قَدَمَهُ، عَلَى صِفَاحِهَا»

Commentary
It is better for a person to slaughter the sacrificial animal himself, but any other person may slaughter on his behalf, as the Prophet ﷺ slaughtered animals on behalf of his wives, and they did not know until they got the meat. (See Hadith: 2981)
