1521. Jābir bin ‘Abdullāh narrated: “I attended the (Eid Al-Adhā) with the Prophet ﷺ at the Mušallā. When he finished his Khutbah, he descended from his Minbar and was given a male sheep. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ slaughtered it with his hand and said: ‘Bismillāh, Wa Allāhu Akbar, this is from me and whoever does not slaughter from my Ummah.’” (Hasan)
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb from this route. This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others. When a man slaughters, he says: “Bismillāh, Wa Allāhu Akbar.” This is the view of Ibn Al-Mubārak. As for (one of the narrators) Al-Muṭṭalib bin ‘Abdullāh bin Ḥanṭab, it is said that he did not hear from Jābir.

Commentary
At the time of slaughtering an animal of sacrifice, one mentions the Name of Allāh; “I start in the Name of Allāh and Allāh is the Greatest”. Most of the scholars add these words “O Allāh this is in Your Name and accept from me.” (Al-Mughnī v. 13. p. 390.)
