4229. Mikhnaf bin Sulaim said: "While we were standing with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ at 'Arafat, he said: 'O people, it is upon each family to offer a sacrifice (Udhiyah) and an 'Atirah' each year.” (One of the narrators) Mu'âdh said: “Ibn 'Awn used to offer slaughter the 'Atirah’, and I saw that with my own eyes during Rajab.” (Da'if)

Arabic text

4224 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ مُعَاذٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو رَمْلَةَ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا مِخْنَفُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ قَالَ: بَيْنَا نَحْنُ وُقُوفٌ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِعَرَفَةَ فَقَالَ: «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنَّ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ أَضْحَاةً، وَعَتِيرَةً» قَالَ مُعَاذٌ: «كَانَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ يَعْتِرُ أَبْصَرَتْهُ عَيْنِي فِي رَجَبٍ»

Footnotes

  1. 1

    [1] Al-Fara': This refers to pre-Islamic sacrifices that were common in Arabia, and may mean one of three things: (i) the first offspring of camels or sheep, which the people used to sacrifice to their idols; (ii) a sacrifice offered when one's herd of camels reached the number one wanted; (iii) a meal given on the occasion of the birth of camels.

  2. 2

    [2] 'Aṭirah: A sacrifice which the people of pre-Islamic Arabia used to offer to their idols during the month of Rajab.

Commentary

The first half is another proof by those who hold the view that the Udhiyah is required; because he ﷺ said: “‘Ala Ahli baitin..” meaning; it is required upon every household. They also consider the second half, mentioning 'Atirah’, to be either abrogated, or merely recommended.
