Sacrifice and Feeding the Poor

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised a man to sacrifice to Allah and do good deeds for His sake, regardless of the month, and to feed the poor.

It was narrated that Nubaishah Al-Hudhaili said: "A man said: 'O Messenger of Allah, we used to sacrifice the 'Atirah during the Jahiliyyah in Rajab; what do you command us to do?' He said: 'Sacrifice to Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, whatever month it is, do good for the sake of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, and feed (the poor)"'.
أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ، فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا الْمَلِيحِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ نُبَيْشَةَ الْهُذَلِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا نَعْتِرُ عَتِيرَةً فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا قَالَ ‏ "‏ اذْبَحُوا لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي أَىِّ شَهْرٍ مَا كَانَ وَبَرُّوا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَأَطْعِمُوا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about sacrificing to Allah and doing good deeds for His sake. It was narrated by Nubaishah Al-Hudhaili that a man asked Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) what he should do in regards to sacrificing during Rajab, which was done during Jahiliyyah. The Prophet replied that one should sacrifice whatever month it is for Allah's sake, as well as do good deeds and feed the poor. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive to please Allah through our actions no matter what time of year it is or what customs are practiced in society at large. We must also remember those who are less fortunate than us by feeding them whenever possible. Doing so will bring us closer to Allah's pleasure and mercy.
