1517. Abū Umāmah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The best Udhiyah (Sacrifice) is a ram, and the best (burial) shroud is the Hullah."[1] (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb, and 'Ufāir bin Ma'dān was graded weak in Hadīth.

Arabic text

١٥١٧ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌سَلَمَةُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ ، عَنْ ‌عُفَيْرِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ، عَنْ ‌سُلَيْمِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «خَيْرُ الْأُضْحِيَّةِ الْكَبْشُ،» وَخَيْرُ الْكَفَنِ الْحُلَّةُ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ. وَعُفَيْرُ بْنُ مَعْدَانَ يُضَعَّفُ فِي الْحَدِيثِ.

  1. 1

    [1] "Meaning an Izār and a Ridā". In An-Nihāyah it says: 'Al-Hullah is singular for Ḥulal, a Yemeni Burūd. It will not be called "Hullah" unless it is two articles of clothing from the same cloth.'" (Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi.)

Commentary

Among the goat, lamb and ram, a ram is preferred and a better choice of sacrifice. Complete camel as a sacrifice for one person is appreciated and considered excellent choice. (Al-Mughnī v. 13. p.366.)
