Sunan Abi Dawud 1769 (Book 11, Hadith 49) #22061
Distributing Sacrificial Camels as Sadaqah

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) commanded Ali to take charge of the sacrificial camels and distribute the skins and saddle clothes as sadaqah, but not to give anything from it to the butcher.

'Ali said : The Messenger of Allah (SAWS) commanded me to take charge of (his) sacrificial camels and to distribute the skins and saddle clothes (after sacrifice) as sadaqah. He commanded me not to give anything from it to the butcher. He said we used to give it (the wages) to the butcher ourselves.
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُيَيْنَةَ - عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ الْجَزَرِيِّ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَنْ أَقُومَ عَلَى بُدْنِهِ وَأَقْسِمَ جُلُودَهَا وَجِلاَلَهَا وَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ لاَ أُعْطِيَ الْجَزَّارَ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا وَقَالَ ‏ "‏ نَحْنُ نُعْطِيهِ مِنْ عِنْدِنَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about charity and sacrifice. The Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) commanded his companion Ali to take charge of sacrificial camels and distribute their skins and saddle clothes as sadaqah. He also instructed him not to give anything from it to the butcher. This shows that charity should be given out of kindness without expecting any reward in return. It also teaches us that we should be generous with our wealth by giving out charity even if it is something small like a skin or a saddle cloth. Furthermore, this hadith encourages us to help those who are less fortunate than us by providing them with whatever we can afford so they can have a better life.
