Sacrificing Animals and Distributing Hair

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) sacrificed an animal and distributed the hair among those around him, giving some to Abu Talha.

Anas b. Malik (Allah be pleased with him) reported that Allah's Messenger threw stones at Jamrat al-'Aqaba. He then want to his sacrificial animal and sacrificed it, and there was sitting the barber, and he pointed with his hand towards his head, and he shaved the right half of it, and he (the Holy Prophet) distributed them (the hair) among those who were near him. And he again said: Shave the other half, and said: Where is Abu Talha and gave it (the hair) to him.
وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ، بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَمَى جَمْرَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ إِلَى الْبُدْنِ فَنَحَرَهَا وَالْحَجَّامُ جَالِسٌ وَقَالَ بِيَدِهِ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ فَحَلَقَ شِقَّهُ الأَيْمَنَ فَقَسَمَهُ فِيمَنْ يَلِيهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ احْلِقِ الشِّقَّ الآخَرَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَيْنَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's practice of sacrificing animals for religious purposes. He would throw stones at Jamrat al-'Aqaba before sacrificing an animal, then shave half of its head and distribute the hair among those around him. He gave some of the hair to Abu Talha specifically. This hadith teaches us that we should be generous with our resources, even when it comes to something as small as a few strands of hair from a sacrificed animal. We should also remember that Allah rewards us for our generosity and kindness towards others, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem in comparison to other acts of charity or kindness we may do in our lives.
