Arabic text

1589 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ اللَّيْثِ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ أَخْبَرَهُ، «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَذْبَحُ أَوْ يَنْحَرُ بِالْمُصَلَّى»

Commentary

The benefit of offering sacrifices in front of the people or at the site of the 'Eid prayer is to encourage them to sacrifice. It is acting after saying something! It is, however, desirable and not compulsory. In the same way, it is not necessary to sacrifice two animals; one is sufficient.
