3167. It was narrated that Nubaishah said: "A man called the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, we used to sacrifice the 'Atirah during the Ignorance days in Rajab; what do you command us to do?' He said: "Sacrifice to Allâh whatever month it is, do good for the sake of Allâh and feed (the poor).'" They said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, we used to sacrifice the Far'ah during the Ignorance days; what do you command us to do?' He said: 'For every Sâ'imah[1] (flock of grazing animals), feed the firstborn as you feed the rest of your flock until it reaches an age where it could be used to carry loads, then sacrifice it, and give its meat in charity' - [1] I think he said - 'to the wayfarer, for that is good.'" (Sahih)

Arabic text

3167 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ بَكْرُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ، عَنْ نُبَيْشَةَ، قَالَ: نَادَى رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا نَعْتِرُ عَتِيرَةً فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فِي رَجَبٍ، فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا؟ قَالَ: «اذْبَحُوا لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي أَيِّ شَهْرٍ كَانَ، وَبَرُّوا لِلَّهِ، وَأَطْعِمُوا» قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا نُفْرِعُ فَرَعًا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا بِهِ؟ قَالَ: " فِي كُلِّ سَائِمَةٍ فَرَعٌ، تَغْذُوهُ مَاشِيَتُكَ، حَتَّى إِذَا اسْتَحْمَلَ ذَبَحْتَهُ، فَتَصَدَّقْتَ بِلَحْمِهِ - أُرَاهُ قَالَ: عَلَى ابْنِ السَّبِيلِ - فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ هُوَ خَيْرٌ "
