Be willing to make sacrifices in order to do what is right and fulfill religious obligations even when we may not want or like them at first glance.

This hadith is about the importance of sacrificing animals on Eid al Adha. It is narrated by Uqba bin Amir Al-Juhani who was one of the companions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. In this hadith, Uqba received a six month old goat as his share in the distribution of animals for sacrifice and asked if he could keep it instead. The Prophet ﷺ replied that he should slaughter it as a sacrifice instead. This teaches us that we must be willing to give up something valuable in order to show our devotion to Allah SWT and follow His commands. We must also be willing to make sacrifices in order to do what is right and fulfill our religious obligations even when we may not want or like them at first glance.
