Sunan Abi Dawud 1756 (Book 11, Hadith 36) #22048
The Value of Sacrifice

SUMMARY: Umar ibn al-Khattab was offered three hundred dinars for a bukhti camel he had named for sacrifice, but the Prophet advised him to sacrifice it instead.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: Umar ibn al-Khattab named a bukhti camel for sacrifice (at hajj). He was offered three hundred dinars for it (as its price). He came to the Prophet and said: Messenger of Allah, I named a bukhti camel for sacrifice and I was offered for it three hundred dinars. May I sell it and purchase another one for its price? No, sacrifice it. Abu Dawud said: This was due to the fact that 'Umar had made an incision in hump.
حَدَّثَنَا النُّفَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ، - قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ خَالِدُ بْنُ أَبِي يَزِيدَ خَالُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ رَوَى عَنْهُ، حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ - عَنْ جَهْمِ بْنِ الْجَارُودِ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ أَهْدَى عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ نَجِيبًا فَأُعْطِيَ بِهَا ثَلاَثَمِائَةِ دِينَارٍ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَهْدَيْتُ نَجِيبًا فَأُعْطِيتُ بِهَا ثَلاَثَمِائَةِ دِينَارٍ أَفَأَبِيعُهَا وَأَشْتَرِي بِثَمَنِهَا بُدْنًا قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ انْحَرْهَا إِيَّاهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ هَذَا لأَنَّهُ كَانَ أَشْعَرَهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the value of sacrificing something that is dear to us. Umar ibn al-Khattab was offered three hundred dinars for a bukhti camel he had named for sacrifice, but the Prophet advised him to sacrifice it instead. This teaches us that we should be willing to give up something valuable if it means doing what Allah has commanded us. We should not be attached to material things and prioritize our spiritual obligations over them. It also shows us how important it is to follow the advice of our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in all matters, even if they seem difficult or counterintuitive at first glance.
