Sacrifice (Kitab Al-Dahaya)
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ، عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مَاهَكَ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْ كُلِّ خَمْسِينَ شَاةً شَاةٌ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمُ الْفَرَعُ أَوَّلُ مَا تُنْتَجُ الإِبِلُ كَانُوا يَذْبَحُونَهُ لِطَوَاغِيتِهِمْ ثُمَّ يَأْكُلُونَهُ وَيُلْقَى جِلْدُهُ عَلَى الشَّجَرِ وَالْعَتِيرَةُ فِي الْعَشْرِ الأُوَلِ مِنْ رَجَبٍ .
