4396. It was narrated that Râfi' bin Khadîj said: "When distributing the spoils of war, the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ used to make ten sheep equivalent to one camel." Shu'bah said: "I know most of it from what I heard from Sa'eed bin Masrûq, and Sufyân narrated it to me." (Sahîh)
4391 - أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبَايَةَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ رَافِعٍ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ قَالَ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَجْعَلُ فِي قَسْمِ الْغَنَائِمِ عَشْرًا مِنَ الشَّاءِ بِبَعِيرٍ»، قَالَ شُعْبَةُ: وَأَكْبَرُ عِلْمِي أَنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ مِنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ، وَحَدَّثَنِي بِهِ سُفْيَانُ عَنْهُ، وَاللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ

Animals offered as sacrifice may be camels, cows, goats, and sheep. Since everyone is not capable of sacrificing a big animal; sacrificing a small animal is compulsory (Wâjib), meaning a sheep or goat. Sacrificing a cow and a camel is commendable. In the same manner, sacrificing one animal is compulsory; more than one is commendable.
