1493. ‘Aishah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “A human does no action from the actions on the Day of Nahr more beloved to Allāh then spilling blood. On the Day of Judgement, it will appear with its horns, and hair, and hooves, and indeed the blood will be accepted by Allāh from where it is received before it even falls upon the earth, so let your hearts delight in it.” (Da’if)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from ‘Imrān bin Ḥuṣain and Zaid bin Arqam.
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb. We do not know of it as a narration of Hishām bin ‘Urwah except through this route. Abū Al-Muthanna’s (a narrator in the chain) name is Sulaimān bin Yazid, Ibn Abī Fudaik reports from him.
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] It has been reported that the Prophet ﷺ said about the Udhiyyah: “For the one who slaughters it there is a good
merit for every hair" and it has been reported that he said: "for its horns."

Commentary
In the view of the people of knowledge, sacrifice is an emphasized Sunnah and leaving it, in spite of having the ability to perform it, is highly disapproved. Abū Bakr, 'Umar, Bilāl, Ibn Mas'ūd, Sa'eed bin Musayyab, 'Alqamah, Aswad, 'Aṭā, Ash-Shāfi'ī, Ahmad, and Ishāq have the same view, that this is an emphasized Sunnah. Imām Rabī'ah, Mālik, Ath-Thawri, Al-Awẓā'ī, Al-Laith and Abū Hanīfah describe it as an obligation. (Al-Mughnī v. 13. p.360.) Emphatic orders for performing this Sunnah show its superiority and excellence.
