1494. Anas bin Mālik narrated: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ slaughtered two horned male sheep which were mostly white. He slaughtered them with his hand and mentioned Allāh's Name, and he said 'Allāhu Akbar,' and put his foot on their sides." (Ṣaḥīḥ) [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from 'Alī, 'Aīshah, Abū Hurairah, Jābir, Abū Ayyūb, Abū Ad-Dardā', Abū Rāfi', Ibn 'Umar, and Abū Bakrah [as well]. [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ.
١٤٩٤ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: «ضَحَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِكَبْشَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ» أَقْرَنَيْنِ ذَبَحَهُمَا بِيَدِهِ وَسَمَّى وَكَبَّرَ وَوَضَعَ رِجْلَهُ عَلَى صِفَاحِهِمَا. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، وَعَائِشَةَ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَأَبِي أَيُّوبَ، وَجَابِرٍ، وَأَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، وَأَبِي رَافِعٍ، وَابْنِ عُمَرَ، وَأَبِي بَكْرَةَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

This narration shows the way the sacrifice is carried out. Lay the animal of sacrifice on your left facing the Ka'bah, put your right leg on its thighs and hold the mouth tightly to keep the throat tight, and slaughter with the right hand mentioning the Name of Allāh aloud, that is “In the Name of Allāh, Allāh is Greatest” Remember that the knife used for slaughtering must be very sharp.
