Musnad Ahmad 1374 (Book 5, Hadith 773) #34999
Sharing Sacrificial Animals

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) instructed Ali to slaughter the sacrificial animals and share out their meat, skins and blankets among the people, but not give any of it to the butcher.

It was narrated that 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: When the Messenger of Allah slaughtered his sacrificial animals, he slaughtered thirty with his own hand and told me to slaughter the rest. Then he said: 'Share out their meat, skins and blankets among the people, but do not give the butcher any of it".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لَمَّا نَحَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بُدْنَهُ نَحَرَ بِيَدِهِ ثَلَاثِينَ وَأَمَرَنِي فَنَحَرْتُ سَائِرَهَا وَقَالَ اقْسِمْ لُحُومَهَا بَيْنَ النَّاسِ وَجُلُودَهَا وَجِلَالَهَا وَلَا تُعْطِيَنَّ جَازِرًا مِنْهَا شَيْئًا‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Share out your wealth with those in need

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how Prophet Muhammad PBUH instructed his companion Ali to slaughter sacrificial animals and distribute their meat, skins and blankets among the people. He also told him not to give any of it to the butcher. This hadith teaches us that we should be generous with our wealth by sharing it with those in need. It also teaches us that we should not be selfish or greedy when distributing our wealth as we should not keep anything for ourselves or give anything extra to those who are already well off such as a butcher in this case. We can learn from this hadith that generosity is an important part of being a Muslim and that we should always strive to help others in need whenever possible.
