Jami at-Tirmidhi 1512 (Book 19, Hadith 23) #27109
Prohibiting Animal Sacrifice

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) prohibited the practice of sacrificing animals to honor a month or as an offering for the first born child.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: That the Messenger of Allah said: "There is no Fara' or 'Atirah". The Fara' is the first of the offspring that would be born to them, so they would slaughter it. The 'Atirah was an animal that they would slaughter during Rajab to honor the month of Rajab, since it was the first of the sacred months.
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لاَ فَرَعَ وَلاَ عَتِيرَةَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَالْفَرَعُ أَوَّلُ النِّتَاجِ كَانَ يُنْتَجُ لَهُمْ فَيَذْبَحُونَهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ نُبَيْشَةَ وَمِخْنَفِ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ وَأَبِي الْعُشَرَاءِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَالْعَتِيرَةُ ذَبِيحَةٌ كَانُوا يَذْبَحُونَهَا فِي رَجَبٍ يُعَظِّمُونَ شَهْرَ رَجَبٍ لأَنَّهُ أَوَّلُ شَهْرٍ مِنْ أَشْهُرِ الْحُرُمِ وَأَشْهُرُ الْحُرُمِ رَجَبٌ وَذُو الْقَعْدَةِ وَذُو الْحِجَّةِ وَالْمُحَرَّمُ وَأَشْهُرُ الْحَجِّ شَوَّالٌ وَذُو الْقَعْدَةِ وَعَشْرٌ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ كَذَلِكَ رُوِيَ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ وَغَيْرِهِمْ فِي أَشْهُرِ الْحَجِّ.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Respect life, Be generous towards those in need, Treat all months equally.

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah states that Prophet Muhammad prohibited two practices, Fara' and 'Atirah. Fara' was a practice in which people would sacrifice their first born child as an offering. 'Atirah was an animal that people would slaughter during Rajab, which is one of the four sacred months in Islam, to honor it. This hadith teaches us that we should not sacrifice any living being for any reason and instead use our wealth to help those in need or donate it to charity. It also teaches us that we should not give more importance to certain months over others and instead be mindful of all months equally.
