English translation

3168. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet ﷺ said: "There is no Far'ah and no 'Atirah." (Sahih) In his narration, Hishâm said:[2] "The Far'ah is the first offspring, and the 'Atirah is a sheep that the household sacrifices in Rajab."

Arabic text

3168 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَهِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا فَرَعَةَ، وَلَا عَتِيرَةَ» قَالَ هِشَامٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: وَالْفَرَعَةُ: أَوَّلُ النَّتَاجِ، وَالْعَتِيرَةُ: الشَّاةُ يَذْبَحُهَا أَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ فِي رَجَبٍ

Commentary

a. In the pre-Islamic days, many types of sacrifices were offered to the idols, one of them was Far'ah. The Prophet ﷺ encouraged performing sacrifice for the sake of Allâh and giving it in charity. b. 'Atirah used to be sacrificed in the month of Rajab, and it was abrogated later.
