Sahih Hadith Regarding distribution of Sacrificial Meat
Ali bin Abi Talib said :
The Messenger of Allah PBUH commanded me to take charge of (his) sacrificial camels and to distribute the skins and saddle clothes (after sacrifice) as sadaqah. He commanded me not to give anything from it to the butcher. He said we used to give it (the wages) to the butcher ourselves. [Sunan Abi Dawood 1769]
Hadith no.257
Narrated `Ali bin Abi Talib:
The Prophet Muhammad PBUH ordered me to supervise the (slaughtering) of Budn (Hadi camel) and to distribute their meat, skins and covering sheets in charity and not to give anything (of their bodies) to the butcher as wages for slaughtering. [Sahih al-Bukhari 1717]
Hadith no.258
Hadith Regarding Virtues of first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah
Ibn Abbas reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “No good deeds are better than what is done in these first ten days of Dhul Hijjah.” Some companions of the Prophet said, “Not even jihad in the way of Allah?” The Prophet said, “Not even jihad in the way of Allah, except for a man who goes out with his life and wealth at risk and he returns with nothing.” [Sahih al-Bukhari 969]
Hadith no.259
Sahih Hadith Regarding Virtues of first Ten days of Dhul Hijjah and the Day of Arafah(9th of Dhul Hijjah)
Jabir reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “No days are better to Allah than the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah.” A man said, “O Messenger of Allah, are they better or time spent waging jihad in the way of Allah?” The Prophet said, “They are better than time spent waging jihad in the way of Allah. No day is better to Allah than the day of Arafat. Allah descends to the lowest heaven and He boasts to the inhabitants of the heavens about the inhabitants of the earth, saying: Look at My servants, appearing disheveled and dusty! They came from every mountain pass hoping for My mercy. They do not see My punishment, yet they do not see that on no day are more saved from Hellfire than the day of Arafat.” [Sahih ibn-Hibban 3853]
Hadith no.260
Hadith regarding slaughtering an animal with a sharp knife to let it die comfortably
Shaddid bin Aus said:
Two are the things which I remember Allah's Messenger PBUH having said: Verily Allah has enjoined goodness to everything; so when you kill, kill in a good way and when you slaughter, slaughter in a good way. So every one of you should sharpen his knife, and let the slaughtered animal die comfortably. [Sahih Muslim 1955a]
Hadith no.261
Sahih Hadith Regarding Reciting Allah's name before slaughtering an Animal
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
"The Messenger of Allah PBUH slaughtered two horned male sheep which were mostly white. He slaughtered them with his hand and mentioned Allah's Name, and he said 'Allahu Akbar', and put his foot on their side." [Jami al-Tirmidhi 1494]
Hadith regarding Virtues of the Day of Arafah
A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported Allah's Messenger PBUH as saying:
There is no day when God sets free more servants from Hell than the Day of 'Arafa. He draws near, then praises them to the angels, saying: What do these want? [Sahih Muslim 1348]
Best Supplication for the Day of Arafah
The best invocation is that of the Day of Arafat, and the best that anyone can say is what I and the Prophets before me have said;
Arabic Version
لا إله إلا الله وحدهُ
لا شريك لهُ ،
لهُ الملكُ ولهُ الحمدُ
وهو على كل شيء قدير.
English Version
Lā 'ilāha 'illallāhu
waḥdahu lā sharīka lahu,
lahul-mulku wa lahul-ḥamdu
wa huwa `alā kulli shay'in qadīr.
Translation
None has the right to be worshipped, but Allah Alone, who has no partner. His is the dominion, and His is the praise, and He is able to do all things. [Hisn al Muslim 237]
Takbeer al Tashreeq
It is wajib for Hajj pilgrims and other Muslims who are not performing Hajj to recite the following takbeer known as Takbeer e Tashreeq atleast once after every Fardh Salah from Fajr of 9th of Dhul Hijah to Asr of 13th of Dhul Hijjah. It is to be recited audibly by men and softly by women.
Arabic Version of Takbeer Al Tashreeq
اَللّٰهُ أَ كْبَرُ، اَللّٰهُ أَ كْبَرُ، لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ، وَاللّٰهُ أَ كْبَرُ، اَللّٰهُ أَ كْبَرُ، وَلِلّٰهِ الْـحَمْدُ
English Version of Takbeer Al Tashreeq
Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, La ilaha illallah, Wallahu akbar, Allahu akbar wa lillahil hamd
Translation
Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest. There is no god but Allah. And Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest, and to Allah belongs all praise.”
Message for the Ummah
Many congratulations to all the Muslims living around the world for the upcoming festival of Eid-al-Adha. May Allah accept the sacrifice of your Animal that you will do on this Eid. Eid-al-Adha doesn't mean to only sacrifice animals and eat tasty meals. It teaches us many lessons like feelings of sacrifice, humility, brotherhood, compassion and mercy etc for others. This Eid makes us realize to sacrifice our favourite things such as our life, property, wealth, etc, for the sake of Allah. Allah says in the Quran that He does not care for our flesh, but He sees our intention, whether a person is doing this act for showing off or for the pleasure of God. The passion with which we sacrifice our animals for the sake of Allah should be present in us not only on Eid-al-Adha but for the rest of the year as well. On the occasion of this Eid, do not forget the Palestinians and all those Muslims who are being oppressed. Pray for them and if you can send them charity then do this as well while also putting pressure on the leaders of the Ummah to do something for our brothers suffering in Palestine and in other places as well.
