1518. Mikhnaf bin Sulaim narrated: "We were standing with the Prophet ﷺ at 'Arafāt when I heard him say: 'O you people! For every household each year is Udhiyah (a sacrifice) and 'Atīrah. Do you know what an 'Atīrah is? It is that which you call Ar-Rajabiyyah.'" [1] (Da'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan Gharīb. We do not know of this Hadīth except through this route narrated by Ibn 'Awn.

Commentary
One who has the ability and resources should offer an animal in sacrifice on behalf of his family every year, and if possible one should slaughter an animal in the month of Rajab to get the favor of Allāh. However, the majority of the scholars hold the view that the order for 'Atīrah is abrogated. (Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi).
[1] Shaikh Al-Albānī graded it Ḥasan, while the order for 'Atīrah is abrogated, meaning the order for Udhiyah remains.
