Jami` at-Tirmidhi
كتاب الأضاحى عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم
The Book on Sacrifices
" هَذَا عَمَّنْ لَمْ يُضَحِّ مِنْ أُمَّتِي "
"I asked Abu Abyub [Al-Ansari] how the slaughtering was done during the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He said: 'A man would sacrifice a sheep for himself and the people in his household. They would eat from it and feed others, until the people (later) would boast about it and it became as you see now."
