Sacrifice and Sharing

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) sacrificed an animal and then gave the hair to Abu Talha al-Ansari to distribute among the people.

Anas b. Malik (Allah be pleased with him) reported: When Allah's Messenger had thrown pebbles at the Jamra and had sacrificed the animal, he turned (the right side) of his head towards the barber, and i. e shaved it. He then called Abu Talha al-Ansari and gave it to him. He then turned his left side and asked him (the barber) to shave. And he (the barber) shaved. and gave it to Abu Talha and told him to distribute it amongst the people.
وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، سَمِعْتُ هِشَامَ بْنَ حَسَّانَ، يُخْبِرُ عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ لَمَّا رَمَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ الْجَمْرَةَ وَنَحَرَ نُسُكَهُ وَحَلَقَ نَاوَلَ الْحَالِقَ شِقَّهُ الأَيْمَنَ فَحَلَقَهُ ثُمَّ دَعَا أَبَا طَلْحَةَ الأَنْصَارِيَّ فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ ثُمَّ نَاوَلَهُ الشِّقَّ الأَيْسَرَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ احْلِقْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَحَلَقَهُ فَأَعْطَاهُ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ اقْسِمْهُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's sacrifice of an animal, which is known as qurbaani in Arabic. After sacrificing the animal, he gave its hair to Abu Talha al-Ansari to distribute among the people. This act of sharing what one has with others is known as istihsaan in Arabic, and it teaches us that we should always be generous and share whatever we have with those who are less fortunate than us. It also shows us that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference in someone else's life. Furthermore, this hadith also teaches us about tazweej or unity; by distributing his sacrifice among all people regardless of their social status or wealth, the Prophet showed that everyone should be treated equally and fairly regardless of their background or circumstances.
