Sunan Abi Dawud 1858 (Book 11, Hadith 138) #22150
Sacrificial Animal Alternatives

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) advised Ka'b ibn Ujrah to fast three days or give three sa's of dates to six poor people as a sacrificial animal.

Narrated Ka'b ibn Ujrah: The Messenger of Allah came upon him (during their stay) at al-Hudaybiyyah. He then narrated the rest of the tradition. This version adds: "He asked: Do you have a sacrificial animal? He replied: #He then said: Fast three days or give three sa's of dates to six poor people, giving one sa' to every two persons".
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، - وَهَذَا لَفْظُ ابْنِ الْمُثَنَّى - عَنْ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَرَّ بِهِ زَمَنَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ فَذَكَرَ الْقِصَّةَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَمَعَكَ دَمٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ لاَ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَصُمْ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ تَصَدَّقْ بِثَلاَثَةِ آصُعٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ عَلَى سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ بَيْنَ كُلِّ مِسْكِينَيْنِ صَاعٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's advice to Ka'b ibn Ujrah when he did not have a sacrificial animal. Instead of sacrificing an animal, the Prophet suggested that he could fast for three days or give three sa's of dates to six poor people. This hadith teaches us that charity and helping those in need is just as important as sacrificing an animal during Eid al-Adha. It also shows us that fasting can be used as an alternative form of worship and sacrifice if one does not have the means to do so otherwise.
