4231. It was narrated that Yahya - bin Zurārah bin Karīm bin Al-Ḥārith bin 'Amr Al-Bāhilī - said: "I heard my father say, that he heard his grandfather Al-Ḥārith bin 'Amr, narrate that he met the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ during the Farewell Pilgrimage, when he was atop his slit-eared camel. (He said): 'I said: O Messenger of Allāh, May my father and mother be ransomed for you; pray for forgiveness for me. He said: May Allāh forgive you (plural). Then I came to him from the other side, hoping that he would supplicate just for me alone, and not them. I said: O Messenger of Allāh, pray for forgiveness for me. He said: May Allāh forgive you (plural). Then a man among the people said: O Messenger of Allāh, (what about) the 'Atīrah and Fara''? He said: Whoever wishes to offer an 'Atīrah may do so, and whoever does not wish to, may not. Whoever wishes to offer a 'Fara' may do so, and whoever does not wish to, may not. And with regard to sheep, a sacrifice should be offered. And he clasped between his fingers except for one.”’ (Hasan)
